socal newbie looking for opportunity
1 May 2007 | 5 replies
So far i'm looking at austin, tx as a long-term investment but i'm open to investing in other areas.at 21 (dec '04) i bought a house in socal with 100% financing that should have never been approved. i was struggling financially so i decided to rent my townhouse to a stripper after only 4 months. i realized the local market (riverside county) needed a major correction so i sold the house after one year (dec '05) for a healthy 20% profit. today, the house is worth the same as when i sold it and i think it's on it's way down.anyway, i am making twice as much money today as i was then, i've learned a lot about real estate investing from books and personal experience over the years, and i think i'm ready to start my career in real estate investing!

The contrast between flat and semi-gloss generally makes the trim stand out nicely, and it also cleans easily.Do not paint walls/ceilings all one color.

Land Trusts

I think in most cases if you explain your transaction the title company will see it as a conforming transaction if not go to another title company to do your business with.When the property is sold the trust is terminated as the new buyer comes in with their financing, or if you need to refinance the property the title is revested out of the trust the new financing is put in place then the title is revested back to the designated trustee..Just so you are aware when the trustee takes title, I'm referring to a professional corporate bonded trustee there must be a clean chain of title for the trustee to accept in the first place so choose your trustee carefully.The thing that the lender can do is call the loan due it does not happen often though, if you vest title of your property to an LLC or other entity w/o their approval or authorization that is one of the many reason why a trust is used.
