I'm pretty confident this letter was a mistake and meant to be sent prior to my closing.

My goal is to be confident that I am purchasing a First mortgage and that I can pick out property tax and IRS liens.

You should analyze the house and if you are confident enough with what your due diligence tells you, then maybe it isn't so bad to go into a slightly riskier situation if you know what you're doing and are expecting a good return.

Now I obviously want to be confident and show my confidence to the seller but I am uncertain on my Exit strategy.

I've gotten along without ipods, itouchs, iPhones or any other Apple what nots up to now, so I'm pretty confident an iPad is not something I'll be needing, now or in the foreseeable future.A BB and an ultraportable Notebook covers all the bases for me.Not in to the music player scene, and non-tacticle keyboards are far from friendly, so iPods, iPhones, iTouches and iPads are not something I'd have an interest in.My daughter has an iTouch and I'll admit it was interesting.... for about 5 minutes.

As long as I know I'm doing things the right way then I'll have to confidence to deal with these guys and even the board of realtors if I had to.

I really appreciate everyone's input and advice and I will go forward with this knowledge feeling a lot more confident than I did before.

I believe all of the methods you mentioned are both legal and ethical, but I'm not confident the average end buyer is sophisticated enough to be comfortable using them.

Thanks for sharing Kevin, and you are right BP is a wealth of informatio.I was very intimidated of investing in RE before I started visitng BP(though I did get started) but now I am more confident and ready for more :)

Are you confident you still will have buyers for your properties?
