Hey BP, I have seen some people have been asked to give a down payment just to apply for a loan (in the last conversation I had , it was with an investor who needed a commercial loan) How common is this and why is that even asked before the loan has been given, would it apply to the balance eventually? 

Would you be able to point me in the right direction, and teach me about any hurdles I may run into and how to overcome them.

To answer your question -trusts are used as part of an estate plan to direct ownership of your property after you die - either passing it to another person or, for your baby’s sake, holding it under the control of another person til the baby becomes an adult.

Instead of having the buyers advance the funds to the developer directly, the buyers will pay into an escrow account under the control of an independent third party.

With the would-be homeowner you're more likely to have a court force the sale.I'm guessing what @Jerel Ehlertis referring to in TX is based upon this doctrine.Thanks Tom, but while I can understand how the doctrine would apply for say the purchase of a common car, where for the amount of money the car would cost, the plaintiff could go buy the same make and model from someone else. 

Some guy on the internet with something to sell says it's a good idea (more of a general statement - not coming directly at you), so they decide to go all in on a flip in a city that they have never visited. 

Outside of massive storms and/or a direct hit, if you are inland they don't often cause catastrophic damage.

Gamal, I direct message you.

It's really hard to know what direction your city council will go in but it's advisable to try to talk to someone in the City planning department to get a read on the council's sentiment and to ensure you are at council meetings where it's going to be discussed. 

Instead of dealing directly with sellers, it would be with wholesalers.
