Anthony, that is obviously a bod statement to make. if you're going to make a bold statement and do it in all CAPS, you better back it up with proof, which I see you conveniently left out of your post

The problem with this statement is that to finance any government-run health plan, everyone would have to pay some sort of tax which means that those who have their own health care will also have to pay for those who don't and that is like paying twice.

In addition, the short sale package must be submitted which includes W-2s, bank statements, financials, hardship letter and HUD-1.

Will, Perhaps my statement was not clear all of the due diligence has been done it is a situation of lenders are not lending or are not lending in this area.

In Baltimore if that statement is not in the lease then you cannot evict the tenant.The details of how this is executed is this... the LLC that owns the property gets the water bill, the property manager pays the bill to ensure a lien is not placed against the property and then the tenant receives a copy of the water bill to pay immediately.No pay...

Please support this statement if you really believe it.

A little p.s. to the above longwinded statement... :) Big Macs run about two bucks.

I met a little old couple who spent about that much and never purchased anything until they met me and I helped them buy 6 investment homes.On the flip side of your statement.

Again, I agree that the advice you've given is sound; I just was checking whether you actually did "practice what you preach" since I [mis]interpreted your interview statement to be that you did zero investing (other than managing what you already had).The bit about assumable loans is quite revealing; today, the more creative "Subject To" approach is the closest thing to that.We've already PM'd about the satisfaction you derive from being helpful here; I'm glad to be able to absorb some of that helpful advice.

Here are the details that I have at this moment...type: Duplex, both units currently rented outBuilt: 1903sf: 3400 gross rents= $1900/monthowes around 200KTaxes: actually all caught up, but are $4200/yrOwner said he just got a statement from "servicing company" saying they want to work something out, but the owner dosn't care and wants to walk away.
