They'll need the loan secured by the home, right?

What Jon said about having a security code applies equally to all phones, not just the 4S.

Reo Broker just emailed me that his SFR listing in 90043 just fell out of escrow because buyer couldn't secure loan. 4Bed/3bath 1800+ square feet just reduced to $290k.

My husband and I would like to work together to achieve a more financially secure future (that and I'm terribly bored sitting behind a desk all day making other people rich!)

This isn't easy to do and it smacks of a conspiracy to circumvent rules when it really isn't.We have a securities attorney and will get an opinion about this and some other constructs to accomplish what we want to accomplish soon.

I was interested to hear what others might be doing in securing non-bank financing.

I actually prefer to JV with potential partners on each deal because it is easy to "split up" later on if things go south after one, two, or X deals.Be careful about securities laws if one party is passive!

The reason for that statement is that you are in the same area where some of the best rehabbers in the country operate and I know you can pick up some of the tricks they are using to secure properties just from networking at that REIA.It is definitely not like 2004-2006, but there is still a lot going on and even though it is tougher here in Tennessee, there is still a lot of opportunity and a lot going on.Best of luck,Chris

If the s-corp secures a loan from me for the purchase, would it limit the exposure if sued?

Other than the tenant loosing the hardware to secure their own flat panel, do you see any issues with a permanent flat panel mount in a rental of this type?
