Today involved in over 2B of deals or 65 plus projects - most of these ventures are secured with fixed-rate debt or long-term notes, extending beyond five and even ten years, or particularly in the realm of developments through substantial completion.

Additionally, a pro-rated portion of tax is due if you sell with debtOr dent is on the priority for the year prior.

I've seen debtors pay within two weeks, and sometimes it takes years until they need credit when all of a sudden they'll reach out to you to eliminate the debt on their credit report. 

Two years later I offered the debtor a slight discount to pay me off and he took e up on it.  

But that plane can be expanded as needed through the use of debt or money-like instruments. 

Thanks for the response Tyler, only issue is, financing is provided based on the deal, and this is where I'm stuck. when you say have the financing ready to jump on any good deal, I hear you and agree with you, but like I said, debt or equity investors would want to see the deal first before signing any agreements.

Just for future advise if you have equity in your home its best to get a heloc ahead of time and just have that credit line open similar to a credit card so you can tap in to it whenever needed weather it be to pay off debt, or invest in your next property or for family emergency.

I'm trying to see if I should pay off debt or run it all up and invest.

Could you often or always get title to the property or you get money back from the debtor/ a third party who wins the auction sometimes? 

You can raise cash via debt or equity and via institutional or private means.
