The reason is that our government as a policy matter decided it was good to promote home ownership.

As long as you stay on top of it and pay it off before the promotional period is done there is nothing wrong with using a credit card.

And there are several of us who purchased via Maverick that are not thrilled with the TK provider they continue to promote. 

That's not right about "real numbers" (so long as there are no identifiable specifics mentioned, and you are not trying to sell or promote something here).

The Short Sales Riches System is promoted by some guys out of Tampa, Florida, Chris McLaughlin and Nathan Jurewicz; I have the course with like 3 CD's.

I think there are those who are willing to drive the country into despair to promote political agendas, they won't really be effected.I won't be effected until the government falls apart and at that point I'll probably have to get off my tail end to protect and defend.

The first dollars are worth the least.There are two ways to think about the participation for a promoter.

THAT INCLUDES OFFERS OF PROPERTIES, PROMOTIONS OF YOUR MEETUP, OR "CONTACT ME, I CAN HELP" POSTS.

Roofstock promotes properties very similar to turnkeys, although I had not shopped through them before, so when I went to check out the site....my feedback is kind of general but also in some comparison to what I know about buying through turnkey providers, since this setup is similar.The biggest concern I have that I read on their site is they pretty clearly tell you that you don't, and shouldn't, do any due diligence on your own...even so much as get a property inspection.

Calling around to our local banks, their terms were all similar, but there were definitely differences between banks that offered HELOCs and banks that were actively promoting them.
