I call them investors.That said, Suan calls them sponsors, I call them investors, you call them money partners - at the end of teh day, they are all one in the same so WHO cares what somebody wants to name them.In defense of Susan, I have seen many of her posts come under "attack" and can only contribute that to her higher profile in her community and on the net, as well as her public approach.

David, I appreciate your contribution.

To your first response, I agree, I don't think the unions were the entire problem but a major contributing factor.

my writing sucks but I can layout content as long as someone else will organize it and make it pretty. of course I'm only good for two strategies but I wouldn't mind making a contribution.

My intent is to buy and hold and generate positive cash flow and gain appreication in the property once things turn around here.I thank you all for this nice online community and looking forward to learning and contributing to the forum.Nick.

Hopefully I will even be able to contribute a little something at some point too!

I have a few reasons why I like this site ;)I enjoy contributing and learning from others here in the community.

So, if someone digs them self a hole when they first join, but then behave and contribute, why should they be banned.

If they should remove those appliances w/o your approval, then they are in breach of the contract.Remedies include: 1) Not removing the appliances. 2) A cash contribution at closing from the sellers for fair value of the appliances 3) Commission deduction from the listing agent to cover cost for replacement of appliances 4) or a reduction in the offer amountFirst, in my experience, Bank of America (Countrywide) is probably going to want the sellers to sign a promissory note in lieu of a deficiency.

I look forward to contributing to the forum.
