In an earlier post, American Pension Services appeared on the list.

I researched several ways at this time to try and move assets or mask the little amount of equity I had, problem being alot of lower income properties appear to be worth more then they are to a non real estate related person, and to the "ambulance chasing lawyers" that looked into me personally, it looks like I had ALOT more equity then I really have, and I personally feel if the info wasnt so easily found that these properties were owned by me they would of been ALOT less likely to come after me for anything, just my opinion.

It appears that 2-3 years are the typical length of Lease Option Contracts but that does seem too short if you are really hoping that the tenant/future buyer will really repair their credit in time to exercise their purchase option.Why wouldn't we want to grant a 5, 7 or 10 year option?

I buy in a trust so my name doesn't appear on the property or the loan - it is the ultimate stealth investing model.

This is something I've thought of and have searched previously in the forums.I personally wouldn't know because I drive a Mustang.As far as appearance to real estate agents, insurance agents, bank employees, renovation workers; I don't care what they think of me.I try not to be flashy when I am showing a house though to potential tenants.

In this case the $4,073.43 is broken up into:Delinquent City Services = $657.54Delinquent Storm Water = 922.64Delinquent Water = $1,371.23Health Abatement = $164.63Additional Charges = $957.39Normal property taxes appear to be only $1,907.81 for 2013.

It appears to have a lot of trim -- also note that the trim components for fiber cement systems add significantly to the overall cost.  

Am looking at a 2 bed, 1 bath SFH that is currently owner occupied.asking price is $189KTaxes are $4000Looking to put $75K down.It is very close to where I work and from all appearances looks like it is in pretty good shape.

Also, when looking at your credit score, make sure it is a FICO score...not the Vantage score that has appeared over the last few years.

It appears to me the house was occupied originally by individuals who took out a mortgage with US Bank and they were foreclosed on.
