They will be able to put me in touch with other buyers, however.Do I give the cash buyer a heads up on the deal before paperwork is signed so I know that I’m covered?

You will be ahead of most people just by reading the forums and listening to the podcasts.

I have been fortunate enough to be able to pay cash for my vehicles but that has not helped my credit any of course.

The gold is actually fully redeemable (so you could actually redeem it and see it :) , and the fee is .05% to purchase the gold and storage is free in a Personal account,All im saying is, for a long term mechanism to preserve value while waiting to deploy cash (like a down payment) its a useful vehicle.

Now, I think ahead of situations and think 'what contracts would I need in this situation?'.

Call your local modeling agency in your area,, ask what is needed to be included in their "talent for children" listings they'll want to know his details, and you'll need to submit a head shot with along with his clothing sizes, shoe sizes, and you'll need to be available when they call for a "go see" where he's sent for a brief consult if selected from a mini group of others where they decide if he's a good match.Smiles, not to shy, able to turn, move, and follow direction is a big plus. there's been a bigger calling for other than the blue eyed blonde stereotype..

You will also want third part verification such as an oil change statement that shows the mileage ont he car at that date to prove the miles were put ont he vehicle. 

If you go ahead with this I would very strongly advise you work out something with your dad so that he is 100% out of the picture.

You have a very tough road ahead but certainly you must start somewhere.

To say you are in negative cash flow territory is a understatement from my perspective.Personally I would sell them all and reinvest in better vehicle asap.
