Especially if you stay to the end of the meet up there is a lot of chance to talk with the investor and get your questions answered with a smaller group than are present earlier in the Meet up when there may be 30 or 40 people there.The Meetups have ranged from flips of SFH, to flip of a SFR that will be sold as a SFR but the buyer will be renting it as a duplex (included tricks of the trade to work around the SFR zoning), to a quad that is a buy n hold where each unit can use some rehab, to a purchase of empty lot and building 3 new SFRs. 

Just as I wouldn't let a tenant walk away without consequences, I wouldn't let a landlord do it either.

Then any structural repair (framing, subfloors, etc)  Then mechanical (HVAC), plumbing then electrical because these trades need access to walls, floors, and ceilings which can damage them.

I work for my father who has an electrical contracting business, so over the years I've learned a good amount of the trade.

I am thinking if I can get Freddie to assign the deficiency balance / judgment to me then I can go to the owner of the subdivision lots (yes same owner as the foreclosed lot) and trade her a full release of the judgment in exchange for the lots.

Net 30 will be helpful if you actually need trade credit for your business (I wouldn't think this is super important for most real estate businesses vs just using credit cards).  

Maybe get more specific with your "trade."

The remainder of the week will be a continuation of interior finishing with hardwood and railings on the schedule.Post 51 - carpetExperienced trades are pretty quick at what they do.

@John Thedford  what Oregon did was to include  "equitable interest" in the definitions.IE the trading in equitable interest for expectation of profit is now considered selling real estate and a license is required.. there was a module on it in my CEAlso if you go to the state of CA BRE website BIG tab right up front

Consequently, you'd have to treat it like any other purchase.
