Howdy @David Saba, your profile says you studied at Berklee; what instrument?

Endorsement and/or satisfaction of this instrument acknowledges payment in full for contract dated xx/xx/xx by and between the issuer and the payee.  

Fire can render a foundation unsuitable, so even a tear down and rebuild (on the existing foundation) may not be possible/practical.And as @Manolo D. referenced, smell abatement is very real and not to be taken lightly.

Our representative Lisa McCook was instrumental in getting our deal completed.

Does this not make the paper a security, and if so, are you not in violation of securities laws marketing a security instrument without an appropriate license...?

Example, If greece debt swaps are riskier this will be reflected in the instrument through a much higher fixed rate (all swaps are fixed for floating), similar to how a stock's price trades up or down based on the prospects of a company.

@Matt Geerts I believe someone can register an instrument against your property, for any amount, with your consent.

Tim was instrumental in our success.

Typically, if the instrument used to sell property was a warranty deed, special warranty, heirship, etc, then you may not run into many issues.

Buying property, enhancing it, and charging higher rent to reflect its greater value is not sleight of hand, it's creating something of tangible quality that market actors will pay a fair price for.The 08 crash was the product of a number of sources: originators willing to lend to anyone and re-sell terrible debt; I-bankers who repackaged that debt into CDOs that masked the worthlessness of the underlying debt instruments; financiers whose models relied on fundamental misunderstandings (independence of default) and mispredictions ("housing has never gone down so it never will!")
