Sure was exciting being young, naive, and having nothing to lose.20 years older, wiser, and hundreds of properties later I manage my own privately held real estate private equity firm.

I'd even held the house for her over a long weekend so that we could find a time when our schedules matched for the lease signing.  

He's slower than I wanted and a little aggressive on his draw schedule (which I have held back on for the last few weeks because of a lack of progress).  

It will protect you from any legal ramifications that may arise, the properties will be held in the name of the trust or trusts, and nothing will be public record, so none of the properties will be considered an asset and no records or prices will be visible to anyone.

Additionally, American Home's lenders have initiated margin calls in response to the decline in the collateral value of certain of the Company's loans and securities held in its portfolio.

With a retail purchase, it would be held by the real estate agency.

They can be a real money spinner when held as rentals.Otherwise you are going about it the right way when you look at the costs.

I've done about 10-15 roofs, completely torn out kitchens and baths, re-framed for termite damage, etc.Most of these I held as long-term rentals, some I sold sooner than I planned because they ended up attracting problem tenants.

If you did not understand a product or took a loan you could not afford to pay back it is your fault.Chris, when I invest in metals I stick to platinum as it takes up less space in the vault.Buying an REO or other property with a POF that you paid for and do not have the money to back is sketchy in my mind.

I haven't paid an 8-10% premium on any metal purchases.
