I have them on lease till the end of July 2007. 5/2 house with pool 2100 sq ft. nice layout, wood floors, fireplace, etc...I pay pool and landscaping.

When I was on a winter NOLS course we were packing up and I asked where is the toilet paper?  

Doing these loans with low LTV's (Loan to Values) and with the borrower having enough skin in the game (their own cash), you can mitiagte risk.Another option is notes/paper.

Are there any foreclosure paid listing sites that are worth the money or do I continue to scour all the usual MLS sites and look for homes in my area with the white paper/blue tape?

Hi All,I apologize if I am starting a thread that has already been answered but seeing how the new year is close upon us and its time to break out the pen and paper and write down those resolutions I am curious...For the experienced real estate investors and professionals doing this at a medium to large level, What were your goals when you first started off?

No way of knowing you're just not getting ripped off for some paper and numbers.Don't take it personally, I give my contractor friends the same load of stuff, they now I'm right and just smile saying "well, can't blame me for trying".And, the investor needs to be able to estimate his own rehab, not rely on others.

Release any security agreement, now it's not a mortgage, buy the paper at your price.

I prefer my unknowns to be related to the house: plumbing, electric, layout problems, mold.

Given the cost of stamps and paper checks, it's really not that much more.

The plan was to BRRRR.Renovation Cosmetic onlyRefinished floors, all new kitchen appliances, new laundry machines, added dishwasher.Improved layout - Added a small wall to create a hallway on the first floor.
