Tim Gordon I Know I'm Johnny-Come -Lately to this thread but I was just trying to get some insight on the same subject & I've read your feedback so I won't beat a dead horse.

Well, financing as we know it hasn't been around forever Dion, only about 700 years, but it's not a stretch to go back over 2000 for cash sales, if you include goats, horses, chickens, daughters and such with agreements not to attack or go to war.

Your property manager is full of what comes out of the south end of a horse going north in terms of entering a rental property to address a repair issue. 

You also had to complete how many years of college, what race you are, if you have any dependents on your tax returns.....and all of those questions have no bearing on an investment property renovation loan.  

Eventually I scaled it back and thought I'd split the list down the middle and just run 3 month races with the winner becoming the control for the next quarter.

Benjamin Shapero I'm one step behind you but in the same race lol where did you get your list of absentee owners?

Sure enough, when unpacking the font that was created for me, my AVG found a virus AND a Trojan Horse.

Door knocking is media, so was Paul Revere on his horse.

Reminds me of the horse my Dad once bought with two other friends.

Michael, you sound like me talking, don't get on the wagon until you have the horses hitched up.Now, if there is some unusual situation where a property is to be acquired and sold within 90 days, knowing there is no problem with a sale you might use a Sub-2 arrangement to facilitate the deal.The seller needs to understand these deals, giving the seller some disclosure saying they are going to be responsible for the loan and they will die, isn't really having them understand all the risks involved.As Michael said, don't get involved unless you can take out the underlying debt
