She has a CPA and a broker and neither will answer her question about whether or not her stock/bond portfolio is set up properly from a tax standpoint...both point to the other.

I do not want to miss out on this deal and would love to have more than 1 option for purchase...our first 2 REI's were with this same lender, and it was honestly like pulling teeth each day...literally did not know if we were approved until the day before closing each time, after having to reschedule because they asked for some other document. 

I cut my teeth in real estate in Beaumont.

btw I think the best,easiest,safest way to make money now is just to buy long term bond or TLT.I believe the worst is over and bond is very juicy.

Utah does not require you to take a course or test it was getting a bond and doing paperwork.

I know how valuable a full lot is these days.We could always bond over park manager stories or I could be told to get lost.

We do them all the time - that is "flip" paper - I never really called it that - use paper to write an offer, paper to assign my contract.They may mean mortgage notes - you control a note for one price and flip the paper (note) for a higher price.I have been working with people just starting all the time - for about 36 yearsIt is sad to hear some of their stories, horror stories of how much money they spend with a so called mentor.Mattie came to me after dropping $30,000 to a fly by night mentor (they are still around today - if I said their name - you'd know who they are) and get rich programWe were able to get her $22,000 of that backWe had her call her phone mentor to ask question - he was on the phone goggling for the answersWe helped her write a letter that would have exposed them as frauds - to report them to every AG in the US, radio stations where they advertise, BBB and every real estate site on the internet.They could not answer basic real estate questionsWhat's a hybrid offer - how do I write one Should I use banking days or calendar daysCan I build in to my offer an automatic extension - what would the clause sayWhy would I use a "delayed settlement date"How do I get right of possession - how is the clause wordedWhat are "check funds" (one of the most important thing to know when getting started)How do I make the shift from "I want to buy your house" to NO I want to flip it, wholesale it or recycle it for a profitWhen buying, should I keep it in or take this clause out "Time is of the essence"What is the proper assignment language to use in my offerWhat is a "second stage negotiation"How do I make a "Trial Offer" on the phone and whyWhat should I do if the sellers says, "Make me an offer"I have no credit or money, how do I answer when the seller wants to know if I am pre-qualified for a loanWhat is the benefit of a "skinny contract" offerWhat is the only out clause I need to put in my offerSo many ambitious and good people have been taken advantage of daily by these traveling Con-men.Before you buy another course - ask - How many properties do you own - whereAre you licensed, bonded, insuredGet references of past men-tees - don't believe their Power PointLook at their financial statement - search their name on the internetDo lots of research before you spent 

This also contributes to the seemingly uncontrollable debt level (as the population declines the govt. collects less revenue, issues more bonds, etc.). 5.

Each one can have their own set of rules that you need to look out for (Bolingbrook requires landlords to complete a class and pay an annual landlord license fee, or another example is Berwyn requires permits for a lot of various work and contractors to be licensed and bonded to the city of Berwyn.) 

@Noah P Bonds thanks man, will do!
