@Thomas Rutkowski,I agree completely that it was in a great investment vehicle - what I didn't explain was that the cash value of that plan was my now ex wife's which she got through an inheritance and in our settlement I had to rightly give her back the lump sum she put into it.

You need to be very careful about the structure of a "double closing" to ensure you comply with the NC Good Funds Settlement Act.

You can also have liens paid off at a settlement rate rather than its face, especially when the possibility exists that Steve pointed out.

I had a property under contract. . .The seller refused to allow me to conduct a walk-through with a potential partner. . .Can I terminate the contract and be refunded earnest deposit on the grounds that "Buyer may make two pre-settlement walk-through inspections of the property (Section 12.A.2 of the PA ASR)"?

During eviction proceedings, we came up with a settlement that she would pay an extra 200/month until she is caught up.  

Well, at the closing of your sale, you very likely signed a document that basically says that after settlement you will cover any expenses that would have been your obligation in the event that such expenses come to light.

As long as you settle on the property before any pending tax action is final, you would just pay the back taxes at settlement.

You cannot assign a financing contract in your transaction where you obligate the seller to finance to a third party without their specific consent with that borrower.You're also  not a mortgage broker, compensation has nothing to do with it and you're brokering a mortgage as a straw man (wholesaler) type arrangement.Side deals (bones and steaks paid later) outside of settlement is a violation of TILA, Dodd-Frank, the Tax Code and ALTA, Things can happen in life that expose such transactions, things beyond anyone's control.

Here’s my share of crazy applicants “He Mr landlord let me grow weed in the attic we can share the profits ““ my wife gives massages... can we work out the security deposit ““I don’t have much money now BUT I have sued my current landlord so can I pay you rent once I get my settlement “ SMH!!

I've tried fighting it over the years and even offered a settlement but I wasn't paying the amount they suggested for a home that they knew I didn't live in nor signed a lease to be in.I wanted to disclose this information to you beforehand being as though everything else will check out.
