When the value of the dollar reaches zero - who will guarantee anything?

NOTE: As Bryan eluded to, there are long term loans out there, but those are almost always loans that have a government guarantee (SBA, HUD, Fannie/Freddie, and USDA).

If the Tax bill is sent to a different address, you can almost guarantee that it is not a Owner occupied property.

You are turning it into a sort of fixed ARM where you are locking your future rate adjustments based on the market's expectations today.So again using actual market prices, you are essentially locking in and guaranteeing yourself a 2% rate increase on your first adjustment.

The "investors" also have gov-mint guarantees and servicers as players so things aren't as simple in the real world.

Furthermore, if she waits to the setout date to move, I WILL carry her stuff out to the curb, but I can't guarantee that I won't drop a lot of it down the stairs (I'm not a professional mover - ya know.)Mike

And also don't make any promises and guarantees.

I have about 2 more years to retire a guaranteed NYC pension.

I must admit that so far I didn't have any problems and I never had a first check bounced on me.You will - guaranteed!

A brand new company with no assets and no credit history is going to have a very difficult time getting a loan of any type even with a personal guarantee signed by you.
