Jail these day I hear have great food !

Sadly if she doesn't though, it will truly be her loss, not yours, IMO

You're still poorer by $0.72 than if you had avoided that $1 in interest.If you do go down this road, be dang sure you can make the payments on the HELOC even if you really take a loss on the investment.

What if a deal goes bad, and money is lost, who is taking the loss?

Some data points we look at are population, population growth/loss, unemployment, crime rate etc.We then filter out the rows with characteristics from those data points that do not fit our criteriaAfter filtering, we order bpos on every row, and that gets returned to us in a massive spreadsheet.We then run some calculations to filter out blatantly bad BPOs and filter out words we don't want like such as "fire", "burned", "demolished" and "razed".Once we have a list of properties we're interested in, we use an excel formula to create a bid amount for each row.We get to pick out the properties we want to bid on in the pools.

In addition, reduce your risk and losses by having a strong lease and enforcing it.

But it's obvious cash flow beats equity any day of the week.You can get 30 yr fixes, and on down the line use cash flow to pay the mortgages off faster, but the 30yr gives you the option during lean times(loss of employment) new roof etc, to pay those out of cash flow, and not your own pocket.

If the taxpayer redeems after the loss, they get a wreck of a piece of real estate, that's all.

If he'd fought, he probably would have cut his losses on legal fees earlier and ended up with a settlement.

On the other hand, the financial imbecile who losses bus house to foreclosure, then files BK, we'll step right up!
