I include appliances where they are already present, and wherever the access for moving in appliances is a serious challenge (for example, I have one unit where we had to remove the door and the door stop molding to get the machines through the opening).

If your "C" buyer stops making payments you better keep making the payments to the A seller or he will cancel the contract.

These HUD-certified counselors charge no upfront fees for loan modification services to stop foreclosures.

or "what does the driver look at to know when to stop?"

We stopped doing our own taxes and found a good, reputable accounting firm after we bought our first 2 income properties.

If my ultimate buyer's goal is to own a salon with units (arghh) then thel opportunity could be to buy at big discount, stop the contractor bleeding, re-sell the property subject to the existing first and wrap it with a second after getting either a big down payment or other major skin-in-the-game consideration from the ultimate buyer.

What kills me is that you are assessed at a value higher than reality, however when it comes to borrowing money from a lender they value the property at a much lower level.

Plus, if you end up denying them for some reason, they may stop payment on the check.

The borrower then can write checks to draw on the line.

Do the transaction improperly and the borrower ends up in foreclosure, and files a complaint, and you're in big time hot water.
