You may be able to work out a trade on some of his jobs like doing the floors for a piece of the action.

Wish everything will work out better than you had hoped.

If you are confident enough in a transaction that everything will work out fine then you should be happy to personally guarantee the loan.

I think you will have a much better slant on things as you continue to evaluate more deals.The one thing I will do is break away from the "run" from the deal mentality.Run from that crap asking price of $124,900 and throw some crap at the wall and see what sticks.First as others have mentioned that expense ratio will work out for you as you ride your magical unicorn to the property on enchanted rainbows.

You can pay the taxes and then do a partition sale, not sure how that would work out for you, as I do not know all the details.

Patricia,I hope it work out for you.Joe Gore

Looks like everything will work out here.How do you search the internet to see if someone is scamming you?

You can go back to your Realtor, the Seller's Realtor and the Inspector, they all carry insurance and you can work out a solution.

There are also many more options that you could play with if things didn't work out work out, unlike a property.I would love to hear more from others who perhaps have owned or ran a somewhat successful company and now involved in real estate and how you feel the two compare.Just trying to pinpoint at which point does it make sense for me to get involved in Real Estate because if I have to watch over everything regularly and get returns less than I would in a company it makes no sense for me.I look forward to your view points.Sincerely,Brent

I mean, when companies treat their customers like that it usually doesn't work out very well.But Bill's comment makes a lot of sense, too.
