After financing $ 7,440 a year.Now that I've got that all written out, I see that I really need to focus on getting the rents up to market as well as cutting some expenses.

What I was going to propose to him was that we both are on title to the property, he'll wire the money in straight to the title company on the day of closing, and on the back end, we split the net profit 70% to me and 30% to him (even playing around with 60/40 which I think is more appealing to him, and I'm ok with).

They're ordering materials in advance and having them drop-shipped straight to the job.

So, in the defense of the appraiser community, the knife cuts both ways.

We can also see the Joe devised a method to transfer the equitable interest in whole, to the same extent as if he had conducted a straight sale and transferred physical title to the property.

I backed out of a hud deal as an investor because someone vandalized the house, cutting all electrical lines in the attic and some plumbing lines,,,after month HUD finally agreed to give me half of my EM back,,,I have been told i was very lucky to get half back,,,its obvious it was vandalized, which is why i probable got them to give any back

A straight forward Letter of discharge was not something they would entertain.

was it difficult to cut out the opening for the slider?

Of course there are even better deals to be had down in the US but as Canadians we have to be cautious purchasing in the US---there are tax implications of course plus visiting or especially working on US properties as a Canadian can bring trouble...you can't even cut your own grass or change a lightbulb unless you want the IRS and Immigration on your tail!

Of course, installation of proper insulation into the building envelope could cut those utility bills in half.
