Otherwise, you're just fishing, and the first time you fail to deliver, your reputation will take a hit, and that will follow you throughout your investing career.No agent who knows anything is going to "hold" a property for you.

The relation I am trying to draw is that is not really a performance benchmark that is going to deliver back clear results.

The association has a policy but it only delivers a shell (no walls,etc.).

My history is in factory built homes (modular/manufactured/mobile) and I deal with a lot of brand new hosuing units that are designed to be delivered to the areas where there is a demand for housing at a very cost-effective pricing.

That should also be in the wording of your contract as a buyer especially, saying that all such documents will be delived in good form as necessary for any audit.

So awesome he fought through his sickness and delivered his presentation with so much passion.

I'm going to try and get that survey out ASAP so it is still fresh in your minds . . . bear with me as I get a little caught up first.

So the seller is starting fresh again with me.

A bankruptcy can actually be a good thing.Some tenants that are carrying a huge debt load have a hard time paying the rent.Those that blew everything out can start fresh and can pay things easier.If it was a chapter 13 that was dismissed for non-payment then those debts are still there and have grown larger.I would look at the credit reports for both parties and look at debt load,BK structure and if finished,judgements,tax liens,etc.Go back 2 landlords at least as the first might give a glowing recommendation to get rid of them.You can mitigate a weaker qualifying tenant with non-refundable upfront money and larger security deposits.If they don't want to do that send them on their way.

But in reality, it simply means a loan secured by real estate and not based on credit or ability to pay.We have given our own meaning to the terms private and hard money, but in the end, the reputation of the lender and their ability to deliver what the borrower needs are more important than what you call them.
