Sigh...Do what you want and you know what that is- even if you don’t get the support initially.

HeilbronerThe books are based around first the initial foundation and fundamentals of what is a note in its most basic form and how to invest in notes and what to do with them.

If the market does plung into recession, I’m confident that the properties I own in the markets I do will perform better than most and therefore I’ll have staying power.All loans involve risk, so I select debt products and terms that I feel minimize my risk and are commensurate with the return i think I’ll be able to generate.  

I’m just starting out in my real estate career and as looking into doing a lease option for one of my properties.From my understanding, rental credits are a big no-no, as it makes the deal a financing agreement with equitable interest.My question is, for those deals where the initial option fee counts toward the purchase price of the house in the end, would that ever be considered a financing agreement since they are pre-paying so to speak?  

There are not enough generation X'rs like me to matter.

I received some initial information from him, but we are going to discuss price and other questions I have then.Here is what I know:20 pad site9 lots rented (8 lot rent only, 1 park owned)city water and sewer (a rare find for rural Maine)lot rent is $250Water is not separately metered, but is split evenly among the tenantsYes, vacancy of pads is high, but I think over time I could fill these.

Either way, you should definitely look at what the property could generate by running a conservative market rent analysis.Keep working to find funding.

I had identified a few properties on the list of interest with a non-redemption strategy in hopes to initiate foreclosure after the 2 year redemption period, here in New Jersey, thereby acquiring a property or two with future plans to fix and hold or flip, etc. 

Here's why:Aluminum windows last the longest.Tempered or laminated glass are both stronger than plain annealed glass (laminated is just a tick more energy efficient).MUCH cheaper than good quality custom sized impact windows both in initial cost and replacement cost (I doubt that you will find exact fit factory replacements)Covering them with a permanent, crystal clear, UV filtering shutter will prolong the life of the window, eliminate water leaks and window maintenance.Permanent shutters don't break so there's no replacement cost and offer continuous protection whether you're home or away.Increases home resale valueIf you simply want to flip the place, go to a cheap PVC impact window supplier and get a list of standard sizes and modify your openings to fit.

For ADUs, consider the additional assessed property tax, and of course the initial upfront and holding costs.
