Put up every little red cent in savings so you have some equity.

It's a red flag in a lender's audit indicating an interest in the property has been conveyed.The way he explained the due on sale issue was pretty good I thought, I'm sure he has additional discosures, but the approach was good and might be adopted by those doing installment deals.

Your approach intrigues me because I was hoping for some magical way to not have to deal with all the red tape with banks.

@Steve L.Could I be so bold as to ask approx. how much someone like you mention is costing (I read the entry on your website about the process and I'm intrigued)I have a man who is very experienced (managed 98 units, licensed arborist, competent carpenter, plumbing and electric and roofing, intelligent, independent, etc. though he probably is a little perfectionist and might eat up some extra time that way) but he's self employed and billing at (an agreed upon) $27 per hour. this is higher than my main carpenter but he is much cheaper than my roofer, plumbier, etc. so it can even out.

The back side of the folded bill actually hangs out the envelope and peeks out below the folded flap with the adhesive.Unusual sized, red envelopes with dollar bills peeking out tend to get opened!

Any immediate red flags or constructive criticism's come to mind.

Had a water leak last year that put it in the red, so I'm trying to recoup those monies and get it back to being profitable.

Maybe the S-Corp or Corp setups can get away with this.Also note that they say you can't have more than 3yrs losses in 5years or it would be a red flag to the IRS.

(The mortgage broker tried to swindle them out of $7,000 but I caught the little rat bastard red handed.)

I absolutely appreciate it.Otherwise, for those who may not have seen this elsewhere, check this out (click to enlarge):That's a screenshot from a minute ago of the top business podcasts on itunes . . . notice the red highlight??
