House prices here range from the mid $50Ks (assuming they're on the "regular" market, not needing extensive rehab), up to about TWO MILLION DOLLARS.

It allows regular joes to become hard-money lenders for others in need.

With the Magix Corp, we buy homes at a small discount and finance it back to a buyer that cannot get regular financing.

There is only one thing worse than only making $5,000 on a rehab from hell that you've dumped your life savings into and that has destroyed your tranquil sleep for the last 8 months.

so you must stay focused.anyway, original point - you can't "flip" an owner-occupied property - UNLESS you use seller financing or a regular mortgage (and live there for 6 months to a year anyway for loan seasoning purposes).

Once you have a small group of regulars who know each other, it might be easier to get more formal, educational-type meetings going and attract more attendees.

Minna, don't lose any sleep over it, just keep looking for the next one.

We're regulars.

Hehehe...Josh -- known as biggerpo -- is the owner.Ryan Webber is just a luminous example of the kindof people we have as regular posters and moderators.Pretty good, no?

Every single one of them evicts tenants on a regular basis.
