Is the worst case scenario that you cannot refi and have to hold for an extra period, or is it that you are borrowing the funds and lose money because you are out 50k for the rehab/refi?

I realize now that there is excess, for me, and for those around me!

NPL's - If house prices start to fall, that can have an impact on NPL's as sellers are not concerned with NPL property values and holding costs, but if housing turns, then holding assets which have out of pocket costs AND are losing value will force them to sell much faster.Seller financing vs. institutional paper?

Do not lose sight of the principle that growth rates magnify with the size of your investment. 

I ended up putting down 10% on a 2 bed condo in South Boston and using my excess cash to buy a cash-flowing asset outside of the city with a 25% down commercial loan.

Did folks lose out who bought in 2006? 

One of my goals is to deploys excess capital and put it to work. 

This was done by any of the following; a statement showing the down payment transferred “outside of closing”, funds transferred to the title company as a down payment but actually from the seller, the seller “purchasing” another asset from the buyer for a heavily inflated price, the reported price being in excess of the “real price” with the seller taking a “silent” second, and something known as “disappearing” earnest money, “paid” directly to the buyers attorney.

I agree that it is the tenant's responsibility to get the rent to you, but given the circumstances involved and the fact that she is making a real effort to get you paid, I don't think a 25 minute drive is excessive.

I dont know the reason but i assume it was so they wont lose it.Now my question is, is there anyway I can take out any more equity loans in the house so I can renovate fully and sell for a much higher price, can probably pull 3.5 for a fully functional higher end house.Is this even worth perusing or should I not touch this with a ten foot pole.Thanks all, looking forward for your expertise
