There was little we could have done, and I trust that they did everything in their power to rectify the situation.That said, I'm sure that many of you were wondering what was going on and I hope that you turned to our Twitter channel @BiggerPockets for updates.

Hello All,My name is Marlan, I am a fairly new investor and am looking to supplement my buying power with a signature line of credit.

I have no idea what kind of experience you have, perhaps you have the skills and some business sense you can even create your own work (your own business).It just seems that you need to a look at where you want to be in the next several years, what is important to you, what excites you and then do everything in your power to make it happen.

Power was restored about daylight to the tune of close to $20k.

The only thing I can do is make sure I have a good power team with a good attorney that will look out for me if I have any concerns before putting the lease option together.

I will say up front I think you should do everything in your power to find a buyer, even if you have to step out of a deal.

The longest wait we had was 2 weeks or so, that was with Bankers Asset management or one of the DARES/Power REO outsourcers (TERRIBLE response time).

Do I notify the power and gas companies about the change of ownership of the actual property, but make them aware that no changes in payments of services will change?

Selling the property outright will free 210k of buying power.
