You would have to write a 100% down payment check if you were buying stocks, bonds, bank CDs, precious metals, collectables or almost any other investment.

By using hard money lenders to finance your real estate deals, you can do more than one deal at a time, spreading out your own precious cash across more deals.

This is a non-typical situation, going considerably beyond this facet, at least I must hope so, for anyone else having a mortgage.I did not post on a whim, on a lark, in an effort to "get away with something", but am trying to do what precious little I can for my family, within legal bounds.R~

Hi Shannon,The long answer is you can spend thousands and thousands of dollars fighting an HOA to lose along with precious time in your life you will NEVER get back.ORThe short answer is you can take all that money that will be wasted on the HOA and either go rent a place for your business or buy a place.

@Precious Thompson I think that depends on what you know, and what your plans are.

I am just trying to fact find and gather info before I exhaust anymore precious time into wholesaling without a license.

Hard assets including real estate, precious metals, and others will hold against inflation and will increase in value.

With a new family, I've realized that time is a scarce (and the most precious) commodity, and so I have to shift my focus to work smarter, not harder.So, in the last two years, I've read anything I can get my hands on pertaining to real estate.

I know all too well how precious time is and I appreciate you taking time out of your life to take interest in mine.Sincerely,Lee Nicole Salinis

I think this is not an auspicious start to a partnership that would inevitably have some stressors in the future.2) Based on your profile and precious posts, it looks like this is your first rehab.
