Typically when getting checkbook control you will have a higher establishment fee but less ongoing fees and delays when having to go through the custodian each time you need to perform a transaction.  

I actually remember this example, but haven't read him in nearly 20 years.

Thanks,Steve yes any lot that doesn't conform is a zoning variance typically. very common 

Thank you for the below example it is really helpful!

Typically, when funds acquire loans, they assume delinquency/default risk in exchange for earning a yield on their investment.Yet this would work differently – it’s a request to purchase debt alongside a corresponding put option/insurance policy.From the buyer’s perspective, as long as the seller remains solvent, with sufficient liquidity for any exercised options, it’s a risk-free investment.

The longer the term, the less of an impact on the rate.I've included an example below to help illustrate this. 

Additionally, satisfactory credit (typically 680+) and a down payment of at least 20% are typically required to qualify.- I'm not an expert in lending, so please do your due diligence in verifying this information.Rich dad poor dad is the reason I became an Investor/Realtor!

It can do a lot of other things, but I thought the last minute booking promos were a good example. 

Agreed with @Gregory Schwartz, the gifts with a personal touch are the most memorable.Gifts related to their hobbies/interests are the best.I typically land at $50-200.I work with a lot of clients who buy properties that need work, so I usually throw in a Home Depot gift card with a handwritten note.All the best!

@Dominic RichardsonPrivate money lenders typically want a property with great potential and an LTV that secures their principal.
