They feel it is only fair that we do the loans but there is no way we can demand it .

(They do communicate over TDY paid out, though).I researched and then did this because it drove me nuts -- the military will gladly hand a check for $40,000 a year to Holiday Inn without batting an eye, but I couldn't buy a house with that same money.

Note that many lenders will not count the credited amount towards the down payment unless the rent was at or above the fair market rent.

Welcome to the forum.Now on to your questions.I get the feeling that coming from a "technical engineering background" is holding you back.Okay you are going to have hang on a little with this one.If you are coming from a technical perspective then your idea of clearly communicating the truth to someone is going to be full of technical detail that I would guess will mostly confuse and complicate the mind of a normal seller.

I am Marketing Communications Manager at RealtyTrac and I stumbled across this posting today.

Landlord is littlebit crazy kind (On one occasion when I complained about some minor issues he started shouting and screaming over the phone with lots of F*** words since then I actually stopped communicating to him) and I think I may have to involve authorities, if that stage is reached where should I complain or should I just get the help of attorney.In any case I would appreciate your response and help in my problem.thanks in advance,Rental7

I'm surprised though in the case where a homeowner looks like they owe the bank more money that fair market value on the house, that the homeowner wouldn't try to go the bankruptcy route.

I look forward to communicating with everyone here.

Just make sure you have the comps to justify your fair market value.

The good thing is I have a fair amount of investable cash - I'm in a position to pay cash and hold things that way, if need be.
