I assure you that you will get more responses.

The idea would be to hook up with a local flipper, rehabber, etc who would check out each property for a small fee to have a set of live eyes look at each home to be assured it's not a lemon.

I succeed all the time, in all types of things, and I can assure that I'm not shaking in my boots at that point of success.

Teh key is to invest with someone who knows what they are doing, has a great track record, and your lending position is always first position and not to exceed 80% of low end value.That way, you are assured your return even if you did have to foreclose.I am not an attorney so I am not sure if I am 100% correct on the BK issue, but your recourse is first in the property (which if done right has enough equity to get your principle back and in this case, I believe it would not be considered a buy and flip so no UBIT - check with an attorney on that) and second (in my contracts) I persoanlly sign my own credit on the line and thus, if you were to foreclose on me for non-payment (which has never happended by the way) you could then go after my personal asseets in addition to the subject property in the case that your full principle and interest was not covered from taking back the subject property.As an investor, I would want every recourse possible to get my money back (securing my investment) and as such, I offer that security to my private investors.I still want to get this money out of the IRA with the least loss possible.

@Marty BauerI bought a property Where the Seller had a mowing trimming arrangement with a tenant he assured me she took care of everything .

Yes, the amount of compensation may vary but at least you are assured that what is offered in the MLS will be tendered.

Developing a skill and getting a good specialized education in college will assure you will make more than your less educated counterparts .

After thIs Is all straIghteneed out Id assure the tenant that while he may be an expert With Asbestos , you are an expert at evictions and he will soon be homeless for his shenanigans

Most of these seminars are the same, so you can be assured that 1) Than won't actually there and 2) They'll try to upsell you into some sort of expensive "mastery" program.You can do a search on here and there's plenty of posts with more info from people who've actually gone. 

I understand that in your case you tried to assure the Seller of your plan to close on a later date, but if it's not in writing, you are not committed (or is it different in Texas?).
