The point of that story was that no one had heard of such a thing, including the lender who had it in his promotional materials for 30 years. To be fair my memory must have it wrong. It couldn't have been 90 days. 90 days would be long enough to do a rehab. I remember that I closed on the buy in early August 2006, went into contract on the re-sale a week or two later. I drove by that property exactly one time, before I made my purchase offer. Never got out of the car, never went in it. I signed my resale escrow docs and went off to the NV desert for 10 days, back when there was absolutely no cell service. When I got back in range, it was after Labor Day, and there was a message on my phone that they had closed the deal the previous Friday. So I might have had the loan money working less than 30 days. Regardless it was a $50K spread and I had no problem with the points and fees that I was planning on paying. Back then it was like 4 points and 18% plus a $750 loan fee. That lender made plenty o'money off of me on other deals, so he obviously felt obliged to honor his ridiculous guarantee.
"Yeah, the cost was my motivation to move here. But it is nowhere near $10K an hour without the cost of the plane. Crew, attendant and fuel averages closer to $3k - $3.5K an hour. My hanger cost here in GA is lower than I had in WA. But it is up near the lake house not here in the metro area.
I'm happiest, cost wise, when a trip is at least mostly business related though."
Wow I am impressed!
It must be all a business write off for the guy living large in Duluth, GA... It must be quite a place (Duluth).. What a life you lead.
You inspire us all Duncan Taylor. One day I hope to be like you when i grow up..
