Release of all liens by all contractors and their subs must be granted or you should not enter into the deal.Many don't know this, but in some states, it is actually a crime and the contractor can be arrested for this.As for if this was a real deal or a "dog and pony show" as it was phrased, I am not sure.

A couple of questions.....1) Do I state up front that I am simply facilitating the transaction for the seller?

John,I agree to a point, but with our business model that fix simply does not work for us.For the loans to be off the books and in the company name, It is my understanding that they need to have 12 months seasoning.

The one thing I have learned about real estate is you can make money in a good market and bad, One simply has to adjust to current conditions, I'll admit sometimes that's easier said than done.

If you, or your Mortgage Broker needs some clarification, simply have them call me anytime!

I simply stated that there is no actual "cost to the $ invested" There is only a decision as to what tyope of return you as the investor want, and a decision can be based on the calculations.I think we are just looking at the same picture from two different angles.

:0 Alex, if you don't feel like subscribing to realty trac or some of these other (pre) foreclosure websites, simply go to county recorder's office or contact county recorder's office in your target market and acquire list of Lis Pendens, NOD's nearing default (to be auctioned).

In my humble opinion we simply need to become more community oriented.

It would simply state that ANY civil union between two "people" (any combonation of man-woman, man-man, woman-woman), would constite ALL legal rights of a heterosexual marriage.

If the board is shirking on their responsibility, you can probably do something about it.Again, I am not a lawyer and recommend you contact one to explain all of your rights, and what you can legally do to correct this situation you're facing.BTW - I do NOT recommend you simply stop living up to your responsibilities by no longer paying your dues.Good luck!
