Although each deal is unique, I've been starting to demand a personal guarantees tied to costs that go above and beyond "value adders"

Josh,Go to HD and give them the SKU numbers (found on the webpage in link you posted) and ask them to search for that item in all area stores; looks like it's only available in-store (probably because it's a discontinued item).this link has a similar looking door (but white frame):http://www.eriashomedesigns.com/designer_door.htmlhere's where they sell that door:http://www.eriashomedesigns.com/where_to_buy.htmlEDIT: adding more links on the door.http://the-motiv.com/images/success/aura/Aura_Case_Study.pdfhttp://the-motiv.com/success/aura.php

No have no guarantee the buyer will perform.

This guarantees that you won't forget to ask something important.After getting your information, then tell the seller you will need to do some research and you will call them back.

In other words, if you have the high bid, you're not guaranteed to get the property; instead, your bid will be submitted to the asset manager, who in turn can accept it, reject it or counter it.In my experience (and from speaking to other investors), about 50% of REDC bids are accepted by the asset manager, with the maximum discount off of list price at about 60-65% (anything less is almost always rejected or countered).Of course, your mileage may vary...

While a bank might not object to a subject to deal, I guarantee you the HML will.

I am not sure about the recourse questions, I signed a personal guarantee but I dont have anything for them to take so not worried about it.

It's better if you can get Section 8, since you can at least get guaranteed rent that way.

I guarantee you it will cost NO LESS than $50,000.00 to start a good defense...If you are gonna flip in NC... please do not call me to close, I will not do it
