@Kira DAnnunzio told me a story about her duplex where the prior owner never got a license and she had a nightmare of a time just getting the city to acknowledge that it was properly zoned for a duplex as it had always been. 

Kira,I have seen Contractor partnerships recently here in Atlanta.

I actually spoke with @Kira Golden yesterday (connected via BP) - she and her husband are doing some cool things down there and may have some opportunities for anyone looking to get into the market.

They CAN NOT foreclose if you stop making payments,"=================================In a subject to, as in a wrap, there is no safety for the buyer either -- he can lose his title (and equity if the foreclosure sale doesn't generate enough money) when the seller's lender forecloses, and he will be a party to the foreclosure as an interested party.Don't get me started on the appropriateness of subject to and wraps for those nearing retirement and the use of their 401(k), IRA, or pension accounts -- even if they are qualified or accredited investors.

I would for sure get "out" of cash: like savings, 401(k), IRA, pension (or use them as real estate investment tools) out of even the stock market.
