@Susan K.Have the buyers pay the delta.

But did I want to deal with that property NO way I started opening  at 270k  we got bid to 322k and I was happy to take a small loss.. with my Delta on the interest the guy did pay and my points up front I broke even on the deal over 2 years...

maybe Google just doing this like they did with Google Flights to leverage their negotiations for higher advertising dollars from VRBO/AIRBNB etc, like they did with Expedia/Hotels.com/United/Delta etc and they have no real interest in making it a discrete profit center but just a strong profit stimulant to their core advert business.buy more Google stock usually a winning formula last 20 years

Hardly a big delta considering that most 22 year olds dont own homes.

ITs how I ran my HML shops we lent the banks money  LOL.. boy it was good when it was good.. borrow at 5 lend at 20... 15% on the delta made for a nice living if you can scale it..

Investing that delta may have you break even after taxes versus mortgage.

After seeing people pay 12%+ I’m tempted to start a Hard Money Business myself lol5 to 7 % are bank rates if you can cobble a maybe 5 million together at those rates you will make far more as a HML than trying to be a buy and hold drip investor. remember the 12% is just the rate you add points and most of us make 15 to 20% apr not 12.. you borrow at 5 and make the delta.. you have  a golden goose and probably don't know it.. now if these are small mom and pops with just 50k and the grand total is 200 to 300k available to you.. then no that wont cut it.. but 5 million that's a nice start to the HML gig..  

@Steve K.AgreeIndicted by a grand jury means there typically is some really juicy evidenceHere is an article and what is sounds like was he was allegedly getting properties under agreement, selling them to other investors at a higher price - possibly manipulating the numbers for higher appraisals so he could give the new buyer a loan for the delta.

Fir Cedar and on the east side of the moutains Pinesome hard wood but mainly alder with a tiny bit of Oak.. nothing much else in Hardwood.So we of course have all the big dimension stud lumber mills.. they all have log buyers.. so we contact a log buyer to get their delivered log prices.. then we know that we can log for about 250 per MBF camp run to the mill.And then we know for example right now domestic fir is bringing 800 per MBF camp run which is pretty much an all time high... so we know there is a 550 delta.. now then you have stumpage.. the land owner will want a stumpage price for the logs which is generally about 200 to 300 per MBF  leaving a net profit of 200 to 350... now some will do all this for a 50 to 100 MBF net profit.. just depends on the stand..
