GC is super simple  .the great thing about developers is no test no school just need good enough credit to get a bond and insurance.( which of course keeps many out of the game )))

The duplex's and Tri's in my opinion do not cashflow as well, have weird valuation histories, and mostly trade to owner occupants where 4 families go to investors and sfr's can be exited to homeowners.  

Hello all,I have a tenent that has had a history of being disrespectful and difficult, however has paid rent on time. 

If you don't have the receipts but used a credit or debit card the company/ store you bought the materials from should be able to look up the receipt for you.  

Regardless, I'm looking for a mentor without taking thousands from my credit card or tapping into my HELCO. 

We really don’t want to accept the easement because it’s not correct and it has never been added in the 70 year history of the property.

I'd look into some 0% APR for the first 18 months Credit Cards but it sounds like the amount of money you're looking for is too small for most hard money lenders to want to get involved with.  

We cant qualify for anymore credit.

If your DTI is still off, you can go the commercial route, where they loan based on the asset and your credit.

A successful short-sale typically benefits the borrower (homeowner) in the following ways: it can give them more time in the house (and payment-free); it is better than a foreclosure from a credit report perspective and wold allow him to obtain a new purchase loan for a new home in the future more quickly as compared to having it go through foreclosure.I would encourage you both to reach out to a local realtor with short-sale experience and have them facilitate the transaction, it would not cost you or the owner the commission as it would be paid out of the bank's proceeds.No, in a short-sale I would definitely not offer any payments to him directly that are not known and approved by the bank, you can get yourself in hot water and probably legal trouble by doing that on a short sale.
