IMO, nailing small lenders will be more profitable than workmen's comp claims or social security disability claims, which have limitations.The CFPB also as an education department, once that is in place they will begin public information activities.

Using Zero Coupon Bonds to Secure a Loan, Sale Lease Backs (not with distressed properties), using loan to equity options, and more.

The foreclosure path is the most expensive path and you can put a lot of weight on that one, i.e., if a foreclosure exit doesn't work, then the deal should not be done. 

I agree with @Dick Rosen.All of my rents are due on the 1st as well, but I have some long term tenants who get Social Security. 

"the risk that you would take in such an arrangement is complimentary to the risk that the seller is taking in trusting the buyer to protect his credit by actually paying the bills" and that's where we as investors have the option to walk away from a deal when our position in any investment isn't secured. 

I refinanced two US properties in 2013 and secured one new loan this year all through Wells Fargo.  

You stated that you have poor credit, and therefore can't secure a loan.

I have been contacted by many people claiming to be able to get me business lines of credit or unsecured lines of credit for a fee and most of the time this fee is 10% of the line or $10k...Already in debt and not into a flip lol The other way I can secure a line of credit is to have a company get me different credit cards and liquidate them down to cash, which basically destroys credit and when APR being different on card, this could spell huge bills?

Also there's the possibility of being offered a (questionably legal) "finders fee" for locating the owner of a blighted/abandoned property and securing a deal for an institutional/established investor.So the above commenters are right!

I just feel it is a security issue for them leaving doors unlocked and the garage door open.
