When we are involved with portfolio trading in stocks, we SOMETIMES use S&P futures to hedge PART of our positions.

I got involved with somebody that does all these things.

That's where there's widespread knowledge of the property's availability and because RE agents are involved, pricing is usually at or near retail.

He works with MH dealers.There is an attorney that feels he has a corporate structure that is involved in with other entities to facilitate seller financing, I'm not sure it will really fly as setting up convoluted business structures that do not carry on another business purpose other than to do seller financed transactions as the law, again, includes any method devised to circumvent the intent of the law.As to doing a transaction that is not covered, you may be able to pass a long term interest to a property through a Series LLC (Mo doesn't have this) or something like a HOA where people buy into an organization rather than taking specific title.

Are you involved?

That's not fair to the agent(s) and other parties involved, and could end up giving me a less than stellar reputation as an investor.

But it depends on what kind of note it is, commercial RE, with or without inventory or business assets, residential, 1st, 2nds, performing, non-performing, slow pays, guarantors of any kind, cash loans or funded with equity based on a sale.Notes are more involved than RE, RE is only part of notes as the collateral.

I was thinking something like if I talk to him about the repairs required and then tell him Im willing to solve his problem by taking the property off his hands without getting the higher authorities involved.. yet?

I am currently involved in SFH for long term rentals.

I used one to sell a property last year, and so far, nobody involved went to jail, :)
