Many economists agree with Will Divey's argument that blames the length of the depression (but not its cause) on an unwillingness by the Federal Reserve System to help banks avoid runs on their deposits.

Something else to watch for is Non Arms Length transactions. what is Realquest?

This has varied based on the scope of the loan, length of the loan and relationship to the lender.

What is a typical time frame and length a bank will accept a contract for?

Now you are not doing an arms length transaction any longer because you are "putting your own money in the deal.... as an agent".

Here are some of my main assumptions on the 4 bed 2 bath: List Price $238,000 Tax $3,798 Estimate Repairs $10,000 After Repair Value $409,027 Down Payment % 20% Down Payment Amount $47,600 Loan Amount $190,400 Loan Interest Amount 4.00% Loan Length (yrs) 30 I've created my own analysis of the property:I'm having trouble determining how to calculate the Pro Forma Cap rate, the Purchase Cap rate, and the NOI.

So you will need to keep it at arm's length.

@Cynthia GangaThis other recent thread covers trustees who presently provide arms-length mortgages from registered accounts ... it seems there are now five, though I've read the B2B Bank (Laurentian) is becoming more difficult with their liquidity requirements.  

They have gone through great length to create and offer this new tax incentive so I see no reason why not to trust it and the procedure for applying does not seem to be overly complicated or burdensome.My understanding is that the tax is for the creation of new rental units on the market not for existing rental units so the tax holiday is not for existing units but for newly created units such as would be the case for additions and new construction.

Depending on the length of the run, whether a new transformer is needed and other stuff, it could be cheap or could be expensive.As for water and gas, are the current lines big enough?
