The only concession I got from him was (1) He and all crew members will sign a hold harmless release of waiver of liability form in case any of them got injured, and (2) cash means I will write him a check in his personal name.So I do have cancelled checks to individual names, even on the check I wrote a reference "debris clean up @ address". 

My good friend and I are purchasing it together and plan to hold title in a TIC and we are both on the mortgage application.

Any recommendations for a experienced contractor in Lagrangevile NY?

We have friends in Edmonds and visited there when we were in town a month back for interviews.

Keep in mind this is not the most user friendly website lol:https://www.huduser.gov/portal/ushmc/home.html#state_mapFrom there I try to find sub markets within the metro area that are close to the median rent, have a unique draw (walk ability, close to jobs, good schools ect) and are either in the path of progress or in a very supply constrained area.

Usually non-recourse debt begins at the $2mm mark or so, depending on the property type.Your best course of action would be to find a private individual that will lend you the capital, or raise it, and have it specified in the loan documents that this mortgage is non-recourse.

Most individuals on the Pre Foreclosure list are in denial that they're behind on payments, and they truly think that they can work with the bank to bring their loan current.

I have a couple friends that are buying apartments in the 65-95k price range and renting them out for 1600-1900 a month ?
