However, when I see what I consider an inexperienced team try to raise funds last summer on one portal (and fail) pop up on yet another portal nine months later, with the same "experienced sponsor" mantra, something is amiss.Don't get me wrong, I think there is a need for CF and it will continue to grow and offer opportunities, but what you said rings very true. 

That impression could be very expensive, time consuming and hard to defend against if a family member or government agency objects later on.  

I'll be up their later this month, let's connect either Saturday 4/25 or Sunday 4/26.

His 6 month lease was terminating on the 31st and he wanted to know if he could hold over on the weekly bases. when I questioned it he countered with  "or do the month" later he informed me he would pay April. 

The excited "I just achieved a goal" feeling did come a little later when we were toasting with a great drink that evening.

Turn over enough rocks, and you will sooner or later get a deal. 

This is a bit of an Asset protection and Tax consequence question.If I buy a property for 100k (100k is my basis) , 5 years later it's worth 400k, that means I have a 300k capital gain.1 - If I sell the property after 5 years, do I pay long term capital gains tax (15%)?

You can then upgrade to a full appraisal if you need to later on.

I have been making no-contingency cash offers on REO's, but ALWAYS do my own title search and get the title insurance.If your search turns something up it will be remedied at closing out of seller proceeds vs you being stuck with it later.

Can we deduct from the money they're paying for rent, then deliver a late rent notice because it's not paid in full?
