It could also be that you have a junk offer for them and the sellers even though they haven't sold do not want your proposal.You can't force a seller to sign a rejection letter at least not in my state.The offer would simply expire without the seller accepting it unless there was not an expire date in the contract.Usually you want an expiration date to make a seller or buyer perform and move to action on a property.Just like with coupons expiring if you want the deal you have to act or wait for the next deal.With your owner finance do you have proof of funds to show,were you going to set up a 6 month reserve account for the property that is designated to pay the (owner finance) in advance??

But developing a relationship with a smaller bank is definitely the approach to take.Hope that helps,- Tom

I am considering approaching a few wealthy investors I know and giving them a proposition like this...Example, I buy a $400K home, which requires a $80K down payment.

These trusts are designed to house real estate within a grantor trust and provide limited access to grantor or beneficiary information contained in the trust instrument or known to the trustee.

I have google'd plexes and any similar key wordsi could think of, not finding many options for around the 16 plex range, finding mostly 4-6plex floor designs.

This just seems to be designed for owners of larger portfolios than my 1 duplex so I am going a different direction.

You could bring in a money partner to stabilize but getting something is better than losing it and getting nothing.You could also look at selling to a land holder or a developer for cash to tear it down and rebuild something better.You can also approach your bank and explain your repair situation and see if they will help with the repairs to protect from a default and huge loss.Some small banks will do this sometimes.To the big banks for the most part you are just a number and a loan that has to be worked through.A HML loan will eat you up and I don't recommend that.A regular lender will not touch a property like that.

Exterminator said they don't take the time to identify between domestic honey bees and Africanized so it was easier to just kill them.My approach after that has been to become a nuisance to the hive by spraying the workers outside the entry point.

I am not a smoker, but I don't have any rules against it.Reasons stated are valid reasons for prohibiting smoking indoors - having a fire is not.The risk of having a fire is very low - and probably even lower for Dennis Tierney, since the other tenants are more aware of the dangers now.Taking a proactive approach to things is good - like prohibiting smoking indoors because of the wear on the unit, or outdoors because of the second-hand smoke.Being reactive to things like fires is bad.If you never had the fire, would it still be right for you to prohibit smoking outside?

This is not exactly what the process was designed for, but they are getting the courts to uphold it as the new investor pays them more taxes, thus a better use for the city.
