It's been said that there in every situation there is only two choices - love or fear.

Who knows, I might come to prefer landlording!

3) Do you prefer asphalt, gravel or other for roads?

An attorney told me this cld be done, again, I just preferred not to spend the $350 per hour, so trying to find another way to achieve this, there is a way, let me reassure everyone here...as Yoda once said, Steve B, "Can't never could"....maybe it wasn't Yoda :) Here is what I'm trying to do, First I do not want to do a simple transfer, as, one can not profit on the mortgage payment, yes?

I prefer a properly operated LLC (again, opinions differ) along with a solid umbrella policy.

The spacing is the "preference of the HOA board."

I'd love to hear people's thoughts on debt vs equity investing and what they prefer and why.I personally like the safety of debt, since things tend to be more clearly defined, as opposed to off the cuff estimates on returns.

What would be your preference?

I also require copies of their ID (I prefer an electronic copy in case it needs to be sent someplace quickly, via email).Since they have been homeowners, I would require them to complete an "authorization to release loan information" form, so that you can get the payment history on their mortgage from the lender / servicer.

Good choice Josh, Congrats Jon!
