Then go to local court house and file ($25-$35).

In answering a question in another thread, I realized my ROE in a similar building to yours is lower than I could get in a REIT or similar security.

That sounds strange, but you have nothing holding you back from venturing out of your security...because you have lost that security blanket that was your job.I would venture to say, that most of the success stories in history, started out where you are right now...me included.So, with nothing holding you back, and with plenty of time on your hands (time will always be your greatest asset...since you can never get it back), if you want to get into REI, you need to do the following:1 - Learn,2 - Learn some more,3 - Keep learning.Places to learn (before you say "that costs money"), that don't cost any money are:1 - Online education sites that have free articles written by experts in their fields.2 - Free e-books, that you can get online.3 - Joining your local REIC's to both learn and network.4 - ...and never stop learning...even when you become a success at this (and you will)Also, three very critical actions you MUST follow to be a success:1 - Always think possitive.2 - Train yourself to think of future "obstacles" as temporary problems...and you are the problem solver. 

Make sure you double check any data with the county recorder to see if anything has been actually filed.

Hey BPso im a canadian resident and i own a property in SWFL in cape coral worth about 200k, it is fully paid off so no liens or mortgage or anything.Im looking to refinance it to pull out my cash and move to another project and just rent this out, I called the bank of america and they told me they could give me 50k or something line of credit with 19% interest secure with my house but thats obviously not what i want at all.

Hi Jake,Hard money loans are not that difficult to secure, but they will require skin in the game as someone had mentioned earlier.

Drip edge shall be white, manufactured by XXX (or approve equal) and secured with proper fasteners per manufacturers specifications and best trade practice."

For example, if you found a great real estate deal and convinced me to contribute 50% of the funds, I wouldn't be interested in any contract from you promising not to steal my money: I'd want a secured interest in the property, likely in the form of a promissory note (describing the terms of the loan) and a recorded security deed (pledging the property as collateral for the loan).

No court entries on the case file on Judiciary Case Search since September.The property is not in particularly bad condition. 

. :) With that being said, what I will say is that when you do consult with a professional, there may perhaps be a gift tax return filing requirement from the aunt, since theoretically she did gift 1/2 of the property.
