I paid HD who in turn paid the contractor after I was satisfied with the work.

Get a real estate agent, have them pull all the sold properties from the last 6 months that were paid for in cash.

The condo association's attorney sent a certified letter demanding payment of what they paid for the wining bid when they did the foreclosure for the condo assessments. 

Have a pre-approval loan letter handy that states how long it will take to close it and a maximum amount that you qualified for.Just try to stay as close as you can afford stay as close to the main city that you can.  

What are they worth now compared to what you paid for them?

I paid 2k for the property, put under 25k (of my own money) into the rehab and now its appraised at 90k.

Which will be successful because I won't quit, so if they have the patience they'll get paid well later.

The loan is an expense for the C corp and this would not be income for me so no 50% tax paid.

I imagine EVERY party who has paid interest on their business Loans can claim so.

I'd be providing financing for 70% LTV on fee simple homes where the current first trust will be paid off and I will have a first deed of trust.
