But I'm playing it safe and sticking to what has been sold at $680K.

Current as-is appraisal is $49,500,000, creating a significant value creation for The Magellan Group and a very safe loan for Mesa West Capital.Properties are available to buy with value creation opportunities that are in great condition.

Since the advent of the SAFE act, most hard money companies require you to take title in an entity, because now all lenders doing even ONE residential loan, must be LICENSED.

Of course it's good to have education and an understanding of your subject but to be an expert before networking I think is playing it too safe.

The only way I think Romney loses at this point is if he says/does something extremely stupid over the next 13 days, which is why he played it so safe in the last debate.

I wait to return security deposits until I hear from her on the condition of the house (again, very rarely an issue but I like to play it safe), and if there ever has been an issue, she takes photos of the house and what she found prior to cleaning it.We have a lockbox at the house with the key in it and change the code for each group, and our housekeeper changes the code for us.

But it's probably safe to assume that they aren't equally skilled, aren't equally paid and won't provide the same level of care to your kids.Basically, it's your job to find the GC that has the skills most like the high-paid nanny but as close as possible to the weekend babysitter prices...Maybe I should just do some research, then make an appointment witht few of contractors who pass the initial internet sceening test, show them the property and ask them for an estimate and the timeline of work.This may give me a better idea which contractor to pick.That will work, as long as you're talking to the right GCs.

Anytime someone acts upset or goes quiet, this is a sign they do not feel safe and you need to make sure they know you are trying to help, and not hurt them.If you want to know how to speak to people about tough issues, and be successful at it I highly recommende this book called Crucial Conversations Book by Al Switzler, Joseph Grenny, Kerry Patterson, and Ron McMillan. 

Note there is absolutely no exemption for very small operators.The CSBS is stating orally that chattel lending on manufactured homes is not subject to these proposals, but we have all seen how that went with the SAFE Act and the Dodd-Frank Act where the same oral assurances were given to MHI.For those of you with your head in the sand about getting compliant with state and federal laws, regulations, and rules, please note the CSBS states the current rules (which you are ignoring) aren't strong enough.
