After the 24 months I secured financing and purchased.I retained all of the accrued appreciation during the 2 year rental period, plus all of the accrued rent credits.

They track current vs. previous sales prices and watch the % of price reductions, over what period of time, to look for the desperate sellers.

It really depends on the loan officer period.

If their stuff is worth something significant, it will normally need to be stored somewhere for some period of time.

The homeowner can either take a lump sum up front, take periodic payments, or some combination.

Everything on a house has a life span and repairs have to be done constantly.In my state, if I have to issue 3 pay or quits in a one year period, I can evict for chronic late payment.

More than likely, after a short period, someone will be willing to go 70 or 75 cents on the dollar.

Scamers are very efficient, and they practice the "funnel theory" - they send out feelers to millions of people and hope to draw 1 in 100 into the funnel.

Subsequent to renting the houses, we sell the houses to investors and lease the houses back for a period of 5 years.

If rents average $1000/unit, that's really excellent work.The problem with expecting 5% appreciation going forward is that we've just been through a period where its been MUCH, MUCH higher.
