Husband and I love snowboarding and have wanted to get a vacation home close to a ski resort that we can also rent out.

I've actually never used 'scripts'  but I don't discount them as being good 'game plans' or the idea of them as a guidelineBBall players like Kobe Bryant or stephen curry relentlessley practiced fundamentals of basketball, shooting, drills, stretching... basically I'm trying to see best practices and see if I could hone or retweak my own.Thanks

That's like saying I am an all-star baseball player except for the fact that I am not in the MLB, I can't run, catch or throw, and I don't know how to hit a ball.

I'm not looking to hold someone's hand, I'm looking for someone who has already done a couple of projects already and wants to scale.Like a tennis player trying to get better, I'd love a partner who's "better" than me, but I'll settle for commensurate!

Common on you experience players out there. 

Unlike a sale involving a mortgage, there is no transfer of the principal from buyer to seller but merely an agreement to repay that sum over time.With only two main players involved, owner financing can be quicker and cheaper than selling a home in the customary way.

Sometimes the velvet glove works better than the Iron Fist.Might be worthy to go-a-visitin' on Sunday and bring some doughnuts and coffee and discuss the situation with the new owner.Explain what you know, and listen to what they know and see if a conclusion can be reached.Doughnuts and coffee are a lot cheaper than an Attorney (as last resort), and these are your neighbors, do you want to have bad feelings.What if your place needs a little something while you are not there, Iron fist makes enemies, velvet glove makes friends.If it were mine I'd shake a hand and make a friend and try to solve it in person.It might be they don't understand, or they just don't want strangers walking through their land.Just my 2 cents.https://www.youtube.com/watch?

Some real players from the city go to that and that's what matters I think

I would much rather be a player than someone that wants to be a player but waits for "perfect" market conditions that never seem to realize.

Tearing down in my opinion is a last resort and is needed when the bones of the existing house are no longer doing their job.We work with newer investors on a regular basis so feel free to reach out and we can discuss your project in more detail.Just curious, which Chicago neighborhood is your parent's property in?
