Don't mistake my comments as being in favor of a government agency, far from it!

Foreclosures take a long time.I'm in favor of spreading the foreclosures out as long as possible.

The states may make other exceptions, so that is where investors need to focus their attention in getting favorable regs.As it stands now, non-profits, like Habitat For Humanity, will need to have a fully amortized loan, even though they do not charge interest (for religious reasons) to buyers.

Or maybe get a D & B report.Next, if at least somewhat solvent, if the property is in a smaller market (like mine is), you could probably "bet" that if problems occur down the road, a favorable lease buyout for you would be likely as they might only close some operations in smaller markets.Finally, just make sure the lease does not already have a buyout clause that is less than what you would be willing to "assume."

How do I stack the odds in my favor?

Doing those things will assuredly yield some favorable results.

Now that Will just got another 100K in his pot, he could then afford to make you a loan with another 100K on favorable terms, with a little profit.

If the numbers work out in your favor, it's probably not a bad deal.

The company bringing you this deal aren't doing you any favors and are in this to make money.

The result is not enough gold to go around.Not that I am in favor of printing money just because you want some.
