Starting off, it's all about the learning experience for us.My family is looking to start investing just south of Raleigh (Clayton, Smithfield, Goldsboro) next fall.

Just my opinion based on what I read.I'm interested in rehabbing/re-sell and buy/hold just depends on how the numbers fall.

I will be looking for a rehab property in the falls church, fairfax, alexandria area so if you come across anything there, please float it my way.

Generally subject 2 deals happen becuase the owner is ready to walk away from the house anyway.In the case of a wrap I believe they can foreclose.The risks of the buyer are slip and fall type liability if they walk away from the property.

There are plenty of incentive based options for buyer's that fall into certain demographics.

I've read some of the other posts about creative financing, could this technically fall under the category of "partnership"?

That policy will cover you for liability, someone falls, trips, etc.

My latest absentee postcard mailing (3,000ish) went out about 3 weeks ago and I actually wonder if the order was fulfilled because my phone has basically been silent.

You may not get your actual payment at your bank for 2 weeks if holidays and weekends fall on the right days.Also, Dwolla makes it very confusing with the verification process.

So if I send it again it opens the window and lets me write a new reply which I did.I respectfully disagree with your assessment of Participation Loans.I suppose if I had a huge issue with any of my participation loans I would then fall back on the attorney who wrote them and their E and O insurance.but that has never remotely been the case..
