So unless the tenant has clear photos that show the house was absolutely spotless and in good repair, he probably isn't going to get anywhere with it.It's not going to be cheaper for the landlord to pay the lien, because the tenant who filed the false lien is going to be the one who pays for the lawyers for both sides (and hopefully does the jail time, too).The tenant is also probably going to also end up paying for all the little damages that landlords just repair without billing-- but if you are going to court, anyway, you might as well include them and get them paid by the tenant.

You could act as more of a bird dog type on this deal and fish around to see who would be interested in the deal, then if you find potential buyers make sure that you collect a 'finder's fee' somehow (usually works best outside of closing).Quite possibly too the seller may pay you a 'finder's fee' as well.

I'm open to othe alternative ideas people have used when purchasing with little cash to do the down payment.

This is crazy so we as tax payers have to bail out the big 3 now:Santa ClausThe Tooth FairyEaster BunnyThis is crazy what's next a bailout for Homer Simpson!!!!!

I have it on the MLS (I'm a Realtor, too), the local paper and Craigslist for $74,900 on a land contract and I've gotten over 25 calls in four days.

I wonder about this, too.

Before I would even consider making an offer, I would get a licensed septic guy out there to give you an estimate and there will be yearly expenses on that new septic system too.

., not a refi or HELOC), you may be able to avoid any tax, too.

I'd like to know too.
