To reiterate: tax benefits, cheap cost of financing (at today's rates), ability to create arbitrage from the funds, reduce equity exposure to avoid frivolous law suits, and the list goes on . . .

My signature line had a url and I was grateful for the limited exposure the signature line provided.  

Many end up obtaining licenses to avoid exposure to what here in Florida can be charged as a third degree felony. 

I strongly believe this will be the case in about 3 years or so.Nobody has a crystal ball but I see many banks cutting through the crud on their books whether that be residential,construction,or commercial loans for some time to come.Only when that is taken care of will most banks look to owner financed and calling the note to re lend at higher rates.It will also depend on what the borrowing costs will be to the banks at that time from the Federal reserve.If the spread is large on calling the loan I can see it but not for marginal gains.My thing is if I am buying a property that is value add and putting considerable money in to turning it around I WANT THE DEED.If I can pick up an income stream without the deed with no recourse to me then if it goes south I haven't lost all this money in the deal.Morality,ethics,etc. is open to many views and if a buyer is trying to limit risk exposure to their cash I don't fault them for it.As long as everything is disclosed upfront and both parties have acknowledged what the transaction is and is not.

I don't look at the points much, but sometimes when someone posts something that seems odd to me I look and if it is negative I figure they are just posting to gain exposure or advertise something, having negative points helps to distinguish these individuals.

Granted it’s not meant for them, and they’re not supposed to be reading it, but any bit of free exposure helps.

Weigh your exposure.  

So in terms exposure, it gets a lot of traffic, so if a deal is interesting - people will see it. 2.)

Thank you Ned and Michael your both 100% right the medium isn't so much the concern as much as the exposure.

It's good to broaden your exposure so you find different ways to approach problems (and avoid them).I would also highly recommend J.
