Due on sale, Dodd Frank, Consumer Finance Protection Bureau...... not so relative.How could you know what you are selling when you don't understand what you are buying?  

If there is an issue I'm on it, my interest is in protecting the property as well as the neighborhood because that means better appreciation for me.

It is great that your Father is willing and able to help you get started with some private money, make sure you protect that with every ability available to you.

To successfully fund a construction deal you need the Portal to be in the market and have another set of controls that are not there with the other deals.So for Bryan to start his own portal to do his own ground up construction makes much more sense since he is in the market knows the market knows the process and can put the controls in that are necessary to protect an investor in those types of deals..

You need the financial planner or the lawyer to discuss how you can use trusts (personal trusts and land trusts) and other estate planning tools to protect your wealth.How you use the equity is a personal choice, but one easy solution is to move it into a new house and then get a line of credit from the bank.

The only thing worse is LOSING money on that rehab from hell that you've dumped your life savings into and that has destroyed your tranquil sleep for the last 8 months.My point is this, PROTECT YOURSELF BY BEING CONSERVATIVE.
