This past year I decided to commit to REI.

While I would certainly not force a lady that old onto the street, especially given that she's done nothing wrong, she does have a place to go and I expect her to keep her commitment.In the short to medium term I can keep this afloat without the income, in the long term, I will end up defaulting if I can't get renters in there so I do have to take this seriously.The idea is to put pressure on the family to get them to stick to their commitment while having a minimal impact on the elderly lady.I guess what I'm looking for is to hear how other people would handle this complicated situation.

But we have committed to this and have started taking action.I was told about this site by Chris Clothier while I was at one of his brother Kent's training classes in July.

From what I can tell, false advertising is not only shady as hell, but is also illegal, and subject to enforcement by the FTC.Here's what I was able to dig up on 15 USC § 54 - False advertisements; penalties:or if such violation is with intent to defraud or mislead, be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction shall be punished by a fine of not more than $5,000 or by imprisonment for not more than six months, or by both such fine and imprisonment; except that if the conviction is for a violation committed after a first conviction of such person, partnership, or corporation, for any violation of such section, punishment shall be by a fine of not more than $10,000 or by imprisonment for not more than one year, or by both such fine and imprisonment:Perhaps you'll reconsider such tactics . . .

Hi Casey,I have been trying to force myself to commit the time to get my license in Illinois for some time now but it just hasn't happened yet.

Prior to funding a note is underwritten, commitments made, but only after it has been made may be appraised or valued.

Don't think you can benefit both ways.Good points about the prevalence of HOA's and higher insurance.

If you don't do this and just let the house go into foreclosure and you rent it out, you are committing fraud (rent scheming).

I'm wondering how much extra time I'll have to commit to real estate investing

I could give them the address then hope they would allow me to write the offers for them or ask for a commitment up front.What is the rule of thumb?
