I have been working with a private equity partner who will fund a project if it will produce a high return for them. 

The scenarios of buying at $80,000, putting $20K in, then having a house worth $130,000 as a result are hilarious.

Except that there was a recent NH Supreme Court decision with the result that any rent agreements between the landlord and the tenant that are future to the court date will be denied. 

Yes I've set up some key word alerts and have already seen some posts come through that exactly addressed some questions I hadn't asked yet but was meaning too :)Once I start getting some deals coming through I'll definitely ask the community for input and share the results as I progress.
