Exactly right, as long as greed isn't involved.

Welcome to BP @Ashish Mehta  Don't worry about when the market will roll, remember in RE you make money when you buy so as long as the numbers make sense and there is cash flow on real estate rent numbers than you will be fine.

Of course you could put the money into IRA or ROTH accounts, so long as you are certain that your broker won't lose the money..

The question I ask people that want to carry is simple, besides knowing how to shoot a gun, are you totally willing and able to pull the trigger.Many people learn the mechanics of how to shoot, but aren't totally sure they could/would if put in that situation.If you are going to carry, many people like 9mm, however I don't really like the lack of knock down power (as a friend who was a chief of police for 20 years said, it will kill someone,  but it doesn't tell you body your dying very fast).A 40 caliber, I have a chiefs special, is a fairly small gun that has some knock down power, it is also VERY loud ,,,,I don't care if I hit them or they run away, as long as they leave!

If it were I as long as the provision is clear I prefer arbitration personally.  

Joe I.I will add that information to my financing folder, I appreciate your post.It looks like my borrowing in the future will be with a hard money lender for my purchases of distressed properties since they close quickly and I don't have to worry about what shape the property is in as long as it makes sense.

Plus, florida has a very friendly "take your kid to whatever school you want" rule as long as you provide transportation.

@Mark Ferguson   Yes I believe this agent in KC was huffing and puffing... suffice it to say from my experience as long as the name on the purchase contract is the same name on the checking account in my case its my POF  then all is good.If its a lender then I guess you need to disclose that when you buying and have a POF from the lender...

As long as the money is still on the table, and you're still in the game, you haven't lost it...it's just in a different pile.The actual solutions as I see it, is just buy the house from her for what she owes...don't make it more complex than you need to make it.Joe VilleneuveREcapSystemA2REIC

As long as you mail it to their actual address, not the property address, they should get it.
