Here is an valid alternative purchasing technique to consider: making your offer “Subject To the 1ST “.

Looking at the results of the equity markets over the last ten years shows there may be a potential for a bigger move into alternative investments as people alter their previous 8-10% returns/yr predictions for their 401ks, etc to 5% and the impact that has on their savings at retirement.

Late to the discussion here, but we developed a pretty attractive alternative to the traditional "force-placed" coverage with the American Association of Private Lenders (http://aaplonline.com/).

Smaller ducting is not an efficient alternative but it worked enough to sell the place with sep utilities.

Then you have to make a decision if that works for you or you need an alternative.

What would be some good alternatives of this doesn't sound like a deal?

In the alternative we would offer you $3,000 per lot if you wanted to quick claim them to NT Properties which represents the net NT Properties would receive in the sale to DR Horton.

The alternative is for them to add me to their credit cards, and for them to open up a bank account jointly with me.

I don't think any other type of home has any obligation to.An alternative to pulling out is to adjust the offer price, so you can have some leeway to cover repairs from your own pocket and have a lower down/monthly payment...Perhaps even from a 203k repair loan.4) If I decide to make an offer on as-is property, and the inspection uncovers some issues, can I back out and get my initial deposit?

I will be looking at this one next week as an alternative consideration and/or comparison.
