More importantly, there no great bargains there…people are paying at or close to market value.

If you don't pay they have the power to foreclose and also to force payment thru a judgement if you ever sell the house.

Why would a borrower go to a retail bank and pay a premium rate when they can go to a mortgage broker that’s tied to wholesale lenders exclusively and save money on closing costs and interest rates? 

In this scenario, you are lending money to yourself as an individual, it allows you to make regular mortgage payments to yourself rather than paying the P+I to a bank or other lender.The first step is to qualify for a Non-Arm’s Length Mortgage with a financial institution. 

I've been searching for a while here on BP but have not found a thread related to my situation:I've been renovating and renting a property for just over 2 years and may be in a position to sell/close in the next 30-60 days.I am trying to cut-off major projects at this time to make a clean break, however we have committed to replacing windows in one of the units (windows are already ordered), with total project lead-time of 45-60 days (windows have been hard to get for the past year).In the event we have a closing date PRIOR to window installation, how should we handle paying the contractor?

However, if you think rates will decline in the next 2-3 years and you're deal flow will be intermittent (i.e. 1-2 deals a year with some months without activity) I would lean more towards the HELOC as you only pay interest on the amount you access/withdraw.

two of my new tenants stopped paying rent.

I don't think procuring a new mortgage would be beneficial unless you need to pay off the cards.

I have a tenant that doesnt pay rent,and i have been trying to evict for over a year.lawyer says its the courts being backed up the reason why its taking so long.is there another way to evict a non paying month to month tenant that i enherit as a new owner?

Im willing to pay couple hundred bucks thats paying off my mortgage for a great tenant.
