I don't have a credit license and am under the impression that I would need something like this if I was doing sales instalment contracts but not for Lease Options.  I am working with Tony Cordato for the legal side of things and he has not mentioned the need for a credit licence.  So I guess the next q…[Read more]

So if you have asbestos in your house, and you do not have to remove it, it's better to just leave it rather than removing it just because it is asbestos.It's dangerous when…[Read more]

I said I wanted to borrow the money from all those people, but Today Tonight said I was asking people to 'give' me money. Which is quite different. What I was aiming to do was borrow from individuals rather than banks, but I suspect it didn't make quite as good a story.Unfortunately, this…[Read more]

In my case, the land I am looking at is zoned rural, but when I look at its location and what is happening in the rest of the area, I believe that this will change in the future. So if I were to buy the land…[Read more]
