Looks like I need to crack a few books and get on it....

.* You have to foreclose to get them out of there if they default (3-6 mths, or more, with no payments and maybe a trashed house), so you better screen them closely.

About five weeks after the job, I started to see some incredible cracking of the wood floor!

Also remember that in a park usually the tenant you pick will have to pass the park's requirements as well, so find out what those are before you start your screening.

Usually when building capital, it is a combination of steady savings and some other unplanned/unexpected financial windfall that we use for investing rather than a new big screen or whatever the average person does with it.

The screens are not intuitive and Buildium does not define their data points well so it is very difficult to move data from another software because so many of the data points are ill defined.

You could do an installment contract with a change to the default provisions and perhaps having options with foreclosure, but doing that, you might as well do a note and deed of trust or mortgage.Deals to the poor in C areas will probably lead to problems, there is a crack down on predatory lending regardless of what the deal is with small borrowers.Most any installment deal that was done 3 years ago is most likely illegal now if the laws apply to that borrower or property, much less the deals done by old timers that have been done for decades, those are pretty much out the window.

I only use referrals for electrical, hvac, plumbing...Remember, someone can do great on one project and completely fall thru the cracks on another...It's good to keep 2-3 reliable in the works.
