ARMS LENGTH TRANSACTION and ALWAYS USE A THIRD PARTY ESCROW! 

I Flipped and sold foreclosures all the way through the last downturn, the difference this time is lending is not predatory not everyone has ARMs.

On my own Fund for my development arm I provide all my investors with the PPM and SEC registration. 

@Jonathan Bauer  In my opinion, the most powerful protection method that has two factors anonymity and layers (arms-length agreements). 

Thanks for the reply.  5 year fixed / 20 yr ARM seems to be in line with other commercial loans I've read about. 

. :)Assuming the ARM's margin is tied to a reasonable index, it "should" go both up and down proportional to rents doing the exact same thing.

How could this be a scam if the lending terms are 5.875% on a 5/1 Arm interest only.

When a property sells, the Security Deposits should remain with the property.You should have spelled this out in your purchase agreement but the Seller still owes them to you even if the agreement doesn't explicitly say so.I would tell him to hand them over within 14 days or take him to court.

Tell any appointments explicitly that you will be texting them the day of to confirm.

Armed with nothing but Zillow listings and an understanding of how to evaluate deals we spent a day in the market putting eyes on potential properties.
