I love playing the what If game.

Considering I am just getting back into the game (I've been gone for a minute or two) - END/EXIT BUYERS...

I am young in this game of real estate but any hints (I know some of your investment secrets are just that, secrets) would be much appreciated!

If we want cheap money I guess that is the game we have to play.

Yes I agree there is risk, but when the risk is virtually non existent, it's not worth even speaking about...yes, McDonalds and any restaurant can be at risk for serving HOT coffee and customer spilling such coffee on themselves...lawsuits could abound...but there are way's to virtually eliminate risk, even if a liberal judge on a mission, deciding in favor of a frivolous lawsuit, putting the hammer down on all those greedy and deceitful investors.

Hey, that's just like a customer!

Creative is the name of the game, especially these days!

Since probate deals have been my game for twenty+ years, I'm accustom to hearing this question.

, but if a title search indicates no cloud on title, that should legally qualify as "clear title" I would think.I know state customs are going to vary (in my state, it's very atypical for the seller to pay any title or closing costs unless specifically stated in the contract), but even if it's customary in your state for the seller to pay title search/insurance costs, short sales generally have their own rules.

If my ultimate buyer's goal is to own a salon with units (arghh) then thel opportunity could be to buy at big discount, stop the contractor bleeding, re-sell the property subject to the existing first and wrap it with a second after getting either a big down payment or other major skin-in-the-game consideration from the ultimate buyer.
