First, I'd say keep your day job and do what you did a few more times, but toss a few bucks in RE next time.Thank you for your service!

My main issue with YLs is cost - generally over a buck a piece.

Thanks for any input,MikeThe siding sounds like it might be masonite board or some sort.Bring in an HVAC expert, you should be able to replace the furnace with a heat-pump.You should also look at insulation (there will be minmal) and air sealing as you will likely get more bang for your buck with that than replacing the HVAC.You should be able to replace the fuse box w/ a breaker panel ... the wiring in that house should be copper.

Found out from the lawyer next door that we could assign our contracts, make a few bucks and reduce out current workload and thus we became wholesalers too although we didn't know of any such titles back then.

If not usually you can go into the planning and zoning office and buy a large roll out for in my area at least 25 bucks to take with you.

So long as the seller doesn't abandon the company the lender may not accelerate the note to maturity.

Good point Joe, I'd suggest, since you wholesalers are making big bucks, to get title insurance if you are related to or responsible for the chain of title.

As a guy in the Navy for 20 yrs I wish I had your mature insight at your age.

As to the other issues, Just saying, there is a difference in a few hundred bucks for concert tickts and thousands of dollars of equity built up over time and there is a differnce between someone who screws up and doesn't pay, who gets bitter, is a PITA, and causes isuees and someone who can't perform du to issues beyond thier control.

Followup, is it true that we don't want to hold a mortgage note near its maturity because the deductible portion of the payments will be too small and we are better off cash-out refinancing to an equivalent payment size as long as we can produce income on that cash-out equal to the interest rate of the note?
