kudos @Rito Altamirano for taking action steps, not a pro but this looks like a potential solution, a win-win for both parties involved, all the best

The tortoise always wins the race.    

She thought it was anyone who wants to sell a house and it has not sold yet.For me I see a Motivated Seller as someone who I can help in a Win Win situation. 

They may lead to a deal or may not but either way I will win because I've moved past the analysis paralysis.........So I encourage you to ask questions, seek guidance, study hard, learn the laws and move forward.Feel free to comment and add for those who need an extra push.Be encouraged.Best wishes, Tanesha Mills

Who do you think wins?

Obviously, I don't want to bid/win property to find out I owe lots of money on past liens.

Win Win in my book.Now, using is as an investment vessel could be a whole different story, but I still see it as being a potential tool, especially to help someone that doesn't have the liquid assets to jump right in the game.

Because of professions, much like yours, Airbnb has become a big player in the short term rental market.

If the seller was very motivated, I think LC's could be a win win for all parties, unless the seller is only looking to cash out..For me, LC's seem much less risky than using a bank loan, as I can still have the opportunity to own the home and cash flow, without the potential for a deficiency judgment should something go wrong and I had to "strategically default" (not that I would ever plan to).   

Meant to say since the govt has nuclear weapons they win the argument.
