Nothing has blown my doors off yet since my limit is only $90k but I am also considering starting a small computer repair/rebuild business.

Mike,Starting on a limited budget can be tough.

Up to the FDIC limits.

As this mess deepens look for more states (if not the feds) to adopt punitive measures designed to "protect" homeowners from a problem Congress created.

My knowledge of the RTC is limited to the wiki page and a few vague memories.The programs the RTC look a lot like bulk REO deals where the RTC retained an equity stake in the package, and provided financing.

I understand its a good way to acquire multi family when you are limited with funds.Thanks..Ray

Measure the hole, do the math and figure out the cubic yards in the hole.

I grabbed 3 of the 5 cabinest I needed at minimum but when I went to get the Stove my limit would not even cover that..What a sleaze..Another of his sons comes by and we talked a bit.. he didn't know anything his father said you had called about a leak .. ( that was 4 days ago..

i have limited experience in residential real estate properties but none in commercial.
