Whats the single factor that carries the most weight...Days on market in the area, the price, etc?

I'm pretty confident this will take care of my concerns about homeowner liability and the "due on sale" clause.My remaining concern is the risk that negligence carries.

If you have not been notified you might sell the property to your friend (with him being aware of the issues, I'm sure he is) and carry the deal.

Check out [LINK REMOVED] I hear that is a program where you can put down 50% and the lenders will carry the other 50% for 5-7yrs.

In fact, if the foreclosures were carried out by the politicians and the government, the error rate would be many times as high as it is.

Can the sellers carry a note for the down payment?

Unfortunately the extra repairs and carrying cost have put us in the hole, but we like to comfort ourselves by saying we just attended a very expensive "boot camp"!

Every independent contractor should carry his /her own policy which includes workman's comp for his /her employees.

Ideally (from what i've been reading)2% of 300k = $6k/month (what the rent SHOULD be)50% of 6k/month = $3k/month (what the expenses SHOULD be)So...If expenses are $3000, and my mortgage is $2400; the total monthly carrying cost would be $5400.Factor in rent of $3200/month and you'd be left with a loss on this property of $2200/month.

You might even have to do a short sale or convince the lender to let you carry a note for the shortage.
