Anecdotal as it is, my wife and I are in the same position as you and your husband in terms of what income we show on paper.

Sometime around the beginning of 2011 I posted an appeal on BP for a notes buyer to look at this property and "take over the note" from the seller as it produces good positive cash flow.

I build my programs and forecasts from watching and analyzing the large financial players, as they truly set the pace that then trickles thru, and that trickle thru gives time to position.

In other words does issuing the investor a mortgage position on the property bypass these security registration requirements or at least make it more palatable?

I suspect we're not the only commercial property that's in a similar position, which may be a buying opportunity.About 30% was put down

Here's my two cents, as a renter in this position.

For confidentiality, I will not post details on BP.Alternatively, although I have connections with many hard money companies nationally, I'd like recommendations from anyone with a positive experience with one of the national companies, so that I can find new sources.

We keep a strong cash position and invest in stocks that pay good dividends.

After all, to have read something that is truly beneficial and has had a positive effect, why wouldn't you want to share it?

I can evaluate whether I'm getting a good deal based on cash on cash returns, but I'd also like to at least have the pulse of what the equity position could look like.
