I have a meeting in the morning with a private business owner to see if he wants to get involved in small micro loans at a good rate of return.

Hi, I am looking for a good attorney that can close on a subject-to, owner financing/seller carryback, lease-option and other creative financing deals involving wrap mortgages.

It seems like once you get the lawyers involved the cost goes wayyyyy up. 

And possibly something a little less involved by Douglas Park.

AN INDICATION OF INTEREST INVOLVES NO OBLIGATION OR COMMITMENT OF ANY KIND.

I ran out of cash and now need to finish up.Options:1) I have heard about interest only payments and refinancing at the end, but I don't know how to find these.2) I also heard about a program called Homestay  that provides the renovation money and then refinances all in one. the interest rate is a bit higher than a regular refinance since there is a loan involved. but is doable.3) is there an option 3??
