one I can specifically recall was the seller went and told the credit union she sold the property promptly got a letter from said credit union they were calling the loan.. the others don't recall specifics.agreed properly collateralized investors this is a good tool... like guns or pitt bulls in the wrong hands its a disaster.. and when people teach this its usually because the buyer does not have the money to buy any other way and looks at it as low down way to get into the deals and they have no credit to borrow money.. for well collateralized companies like yourself or us.. its great tool.. for seller highly risky in states that allow deficiency judgements.. would like to think the buyer will just deed it over but that's not been my expeirnce.my experience with these going badwere gurus teaching sandwhich lease options on sub too.. in our state that requires a full foreclosure to cure.. now you have a lessee int he house who is not paying.. you have your middle man who ran out of money can afford to forclose or make payments.. you have the seller usually figure it out when they are getting late notices and their credit is trashed..

On the other hand if everything about your business is operating on a raisers edge it does not take a correction to sink your ship.

You need to make sure you understand what a deal is ,though, because the seller is putting their financial future in your hands, and you have to pull through for them.

I’m ready to take my financial destiny into my own hands.

Or if you want a more hands off approach look for a solid turnkey company.

I suggest you get your hands on a calculator that will help you out with this.  

On the other hand if you decide to sell the house, I honestly would just take the broker's course for $500 and you'll save $9,000 in fees by listing it yourself.

Personally I have bought only a hand full off-market deals and none of them were exceptinally good - most of my deals came from MLS.

I *want* to set a goal that I can look at daily, weekly, etc, and rate my progress to keep me on track, but I always come up empty handed.

I have listened to a handful of podcasts where people meter each unit separately to add more value.
