I've already discovered some things I wasn't aware of previously. 

But the point of my previous post was that you need to be aware up front that you'll be looking at a great deal of commuting time and also that the heat in the summer can be stifling. 100 degrees for a high probably a couple weeks each summer, maybe even higher.

Self Directed IRAs do generate a money trail, consequently there are firms established to tout them and advertise them, so the public is aware of them.Option 3.

I have heard a little about Fha 203k loans but I am not aware if you must purchase the home with the funds or if I can use the funds soley on rehab.

Also I am most interested in learning about assigning the offer to purchase ( because I would not be able to take title )In order to do that what language do I need in the offer to make the seller aware I plan on assigning the contract.Do I need to assign the contract before the due diligence period is over?

That is definitely an older part of town and crime is higher (I wouldn't call it a war zone), but you have to go street by stree and almost block by block. 

I wasn't aware of this bill. 

Yes, Im aware that the rule of thumb is to start paying off the largest balance with the highest interest rate.

But as a journalist I would hope you are aware of your own bias so that you don’t get caught up so much in self deception.The reason I am so passionate about this topic is because of people like you who make blanket statements about people in these seminar programs.

Hmmm.But yes, I get that "your" end selling price would be the ONLY price that appeared on the Sale Contract, and that the Seller would be aware that the closing costs would include a $2.5k "administration fee?"
