I write in my offers that it is understood that this offer is made for the purpose of earning a reasonable profit short term of long term.Making written and verbal disclosures are very important.What would you do and how would you handle settlement if your assignment fee was $50,000 and the seller was just getting his $50,000 mortgage paid off at settlement.There is one right answer .......... another alternative answer is available that would avoid this situation and satisfy the seller.First to get the answer right wins a creative pocket pack. 

I do have a mixer, 1 cubic yard is 46 80lb bags which is quite a bit of work so I'm exploring the alternatives

What are the alternatives as to the misconception of using hard cash?

If not, sounds like maybe cutting your losses would be the alternative, always remember to have the funds first because there's always a deal coming.

Bill,Perhaps you misunderstood my response about creating a mortgage on your own property, I would never suggest something that would cause anyone the risk of incarceration, just not my style.I have been successful with every alternative method of financing and note techniques that I suggest to friends and associates and I am still staying legal and not wearing the color orange.If there is something I am not aware of about your comments, I will search for a clarification.Thank you for bringing the issue you have regarding my mortgage and note method of acquiring more real estate and freeing up personal equity.

Daily management is your contractor's job, not yours, unless it is a GC that is described as "three men with truck and tools" and advertises on craigslist, then maybe, it needs to be visited per day.

Don't want to use companies I want to rent a truck, fill it with the things they left behind and unload it wherever trash is dumped in Gary.

Useful perhaps if you have unexpectedly high expenses that year that can help reduce this extra taxable income.Consider this alternate solution: Have an escrow company hold the funds and disburse them monthly/yearly to you according to your lease. 

Those are both definitely very viable options.There has been some action against STVR's in a couple areas of San Diego and rumblings of it in a few others; but there are also neighborhoods (like Mission Beach, for example) where, at least for the foreseeable future, the landscape looks very safe for STVR's.I'd be more than happy to help you compare some of your alternatives down here in SD. 

Since these are other people's money (OPM) I think this can assist anyone who desire to use an alternate to loans.Free Sample *FREE MONEY Sources Herehttp://www.grants.govhttp://www.grants.gov/assets/GDG_AppUserGuide_0207...http://www.foundationcenter.org/getstarted/individ...http://www.fundsnetservices.com/http://www.kn.pacbell.com/products/grants/locate.h...http://www.usa.gov/http;//www.govloans.gov/http://www.sba.gov/SBIR/indexsbir-sttr.htmlhttp://www.sba.govhttp://www.fsa.usda.govhttp://www.sba.gov/financing/loanprog/caplines.htm...http://www.dla.mil/dbhttp://osdbuweb.dot.govhttp://www.sba.gov/INV/venture.htmlhttp://www.sba.gov/financing/lendinv/lowdoc.htmlhttp://www.sba.gov/serviceshttp://www.sba.gov/aboutsba/sbaprograms/inv/index/...http://www.rihric.com/awards.htm_______________________________________http://www.sba.gov/aboutsba/sbaprograms/onlinewbc/...http://www.sba.gov/idc/groups/publi/documents/ba_p...http://www.schoolgrants.orghttp://www.grantsolutions.gov/http://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/CATALOG.FIRST_TI...http://www.womensbusinessgrants.com/who.shmtlhttp://www.ount-me-in.orghttp://www.libmsu.edu/harris23/grants/3women.htmhttp://www.fundsnetservices.com/women.htmhttp://wwwwomensnet.nethttp://www.ehome-basedbusiness.com/articlesResidential Grantshttp://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/liheaphttp://www.govbenefits.govhttp://www.rurdev.usda.gov.rhs/http://www.hud.gov________________________________________Unemployment and Emergencieshttp://workforcesecurity.doleta.gov/unemploy/uifac...http://www.salvationarmy.orghttp://www.communityactionpartnership.comhttp://wwwwroc.org/factsheet/emergenygrant.htmhttp://www.dhhs.govEducationhttp://www.ed.gov/programs/iegpsflasf/index.htmlhttp://www.worldstudy.gov/overview2.htmlhttp://www.iie.org/programs.nsep/graduate/award.ht...http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/fsa/index.htm...http://www.ed.gov/programs/iegpsirs/inde.htmlhttp://www.studentaid.ed.govhttp://www.rankinfoundation.orghttp://www.aauw.org/fga/fellowships_grants/http://grants.nih.gov/grants/index.cfmhttp://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocfo/grants/g...http://www.spencer.org/programs/grants/research_gr...Raymond Ebbeler AKA the White Hat Specialist
