I am a believer in building a good team, but I think it is a major hang up for people to try to have all all-stars and if they lose anyone, especially if that person is a single point of failure, the wheels come off.You want to have good people but you shouldn't need great people if you want longevity and to be able to remove yourself.I listened to the book on audio so I didn't get the lacking in the writing department.

The mentor was the key to my success but I paid dearly for my mentor.

Calling the county department that does this is where you get the rules.  

In fact I even worked in one of Golden West's very first factories when they were built like trailers and looked like old mobile homes or coaches.But do yourself a favor and take the time to tour a factory or two and see first had the amount of detail the assemblers put into the new state of the art HUD and MOD Factory Built Homes.BTW, they haven't used a blue book in Cali for the past 25 years unless they're Pre HUD and have never been transferred to from the DMV to the California Department of Housing & Community Development (HCD) who now regulate and registers the manufactured homes instead of the DMV.

(c) Any person, including the Department of Revenue or another state agency, that has a lien or interest subsequent to the trust deed if the lien or interest appears of record or the beneficiary has actual notice of the lien or interest.

Keep in mind that during the process the law enforcement agency that oversees this (in my county it's the Marshal's department) will do nothing to actually HELP with the process; they are simply there to make sure everything goes smoothly and without violence.   

I'm going to talk to the city planning department for sure!

yup..the new rules make it harder and harder to be under 45 days.they all have excused and point fingers at different departments,entities.. it's not even funny. that's why you need a portfolio loan.. its like using a credit card to buy whatever you want. its amazing and addictive.

.$360k, 2-4 unit, 75% LTV (looks like we've probably departed Oakland...).Bump those numbers a few grand if you're looking in cities without city transfer taxes. 

One must also navigate the fact that some of these houses have been declared over 50 percent damaged by the local Department of Public Works (or whatever the Parish in questions calls it).
