    Lender threatening to call Loan Due

    I agree with Jim. Citi needs to realize that it is in their best interest to let you make the payments going forward. Since when does a bank refuse a paying customer, especially in the face of a foreclosure. They are in the business of making money, not owning real estate!

    Olympia Trust - what is your experience with this company?

    QUOTE (VicChung @ Mar 10 2010, 09:02 AM) Thanks everyone. The general comment is that it is easy to put money in. How about taking money out? That depends on the liquidity of the investment you choose, but is as easy as moving money from one bank account to another. Note: there are fees...

    Got our Shut Up Check!

    Nice work Mark!To me this type of deal is ideal. You`ve made an instant cash "in your jeans" return of nearly 30% (on the option deposit) from your tenant buyer, with great cashflow and a locked in value after 2 years. I like it! PS. How did you find your potential tenant buyers?? QUOTE...
