To make a long story short I'm in this situation because my house for sale literally fell apart at the closing table because the buyer was denied funding at closing.I'm now faced with finding my own funding for the new house while i wait for my old house to sell. i don't know if private funding is the best option??

In order to partner with him he wants me to contribute 1 million to pay off the loan to be a true 50/50 partner on the land so we can develop it.I don't have 1,000,000 in cash lying around so I offered to leverage one of my income producing properties as a lien to the bank which is worth about 1 million.The goal is to roll over his 1 million dollar loan into a 5 million loan which we would share 50/50. 4 million of that would be used to develop the land.He needs my income and assets to qualify for a bigger loan, and I feel like my 1 million of income producing assets would suffice in the form of leverage.The disagreement is that he feels I am not bringing any money to the table in this scenario to make it a true 50/50 partnership.  

Price is rising and at one point, it's smarter to sell (even if you leave some money on the table) vs. go through another real estate market crash.

At this point, I'm trying to determine how much it costs to at least start a foreclosure to bring the homeowner to the table or complete it and still not be underwater in the property myself.

Blue skies and mountain-dry air make long, cold winters much more attractive, I guess.  

It may seem like a large mountain and we both know that most Americans never even buy 1 house not to mention two.
