Wholesalers selling property you have to know they could give a rip about you.. and they have no on going responsibility.. especially the bigger players in Texas those guys well don't get me started.. bad news from my view point. 

My realtor company who charged me money to find good deal is assuring me that they have team there who can handle all the worries for me.

Give them your contact information in case neighbors have problems with your guests, and assure them that you’re there to serve them as well as your guests.

These are two completely different animals with much different players.

All the solutions, I'm worried about their longeity since the two bigger players in the space have shut down within a month of each other.  

However, if the contract was broken, the repayment would automatically kick in.Carolyn, this is really a legal question and since lawyers don't post on website message boards, you won't find a valid answer here (only opinions).Go talk to a lawyer experienced in this subject.Reading between the lines, if I were in your shoes and wanted to make this loan, I would require collateral and take possession of the same to assure repayment.

Even if I do a no money down deal and a realtor/broker was involved, I assure that they would be compensated. 

I don't know your area but go learn the local magistrate system and the players.  

I can assure you that I wouldn't have made that if I listened to the people who told me NOT to spend the money.

Enjoy the chummost of the players in the info industry use the same consultants from Miami, they will design the speeches and powerpoints.
