Another instance was a horse property I leased while I was stationed at Fort Bragg, NC.

If it was in FL for instance, the guy who terminated the lease early would be liable for all it's empty time until it's re-leased again.

For instance, I have 15 units right now in four separate buildings, fully rented for $275,000.

For instance - perhaps for your first project, flip a home that is small enough to make sense as a rental if you are unable to sell.  

One near me in MD, for instance, charges $500 up front for MLS listing, sign, lockbox, agent help when needed, etc., then 1/2% commission at closing and you decide buyer agent fee, 2-3%.  

For instance using a higher end, die-cut pop up surely would issue a stronger impact than a simple 5"x 7" single sided post card, or perhaps some other creative endeavor to get the recipient to open their mailer and immediately form an emotional bond.My question here basically is, who out there is using direct mailers in new and creative ways and does going above and beyond a simply 'yellow letter' or postcard really show a better ROI. 

For instance, in my area, certain neighborhoods will have bonds (like school bonds), special assessments, and/or direct charges that get included on the property tax bills that other neighborhoods don't have.  

For instance you would use a bracket of say (1993 - 2013).

Are there any loans of any type for instances like this that would allow me to cover my portion of the $13,500?

Need advice - I am increasingly getting frustrated by the SLOW pace of real estate lawyers on both sides of the deal - for instance the time it takes after title docs are available to resolve matters and close (by sellers lawyer).
