Hi Bob -

I appreciate the stated original intent of your post in this string. I get that you had a seller ask for info about Equity Holding Corp., the corporate entity that you are suggesting they transfer the title of their property to. That is a fair request that does occur periodically. So, you sent them to the website at !– w –[Read more]

Good Morning Dave -

Not sure from your post which exact deductions you believe that you may be entitled to take. I am not a licensed professional tax consultant, but I believe that if you have some business expense being paid out by you along the lines of part of the monthly payment obligation or initial closing cost to set up the Trust, then you…[Read more]

Hi Rick -

I have been off the Board for a few days and am only now getting to this back-and-forth between you and Don.

I encourage you to consider the possibility of being a difference-maker!

Plan your work and work your plan. From where I am sitting and reading, I see no obvious flaws with your logic or your stated course of action. The point…[Read more]

Please see Alvin’s post above or click on this link:

Look at line item number 33. Looks like it could be a perfect match. Call Alvin directly and have a conversation about working together on a deal.

By the way, line item 160 is for a property only about 20 miles away.

Please let me know how…[Read more]

Are you kidding me??

Please do not take anything that I am about to type on a personal level. The following is for everyone who can read and understand. I mean no offense. My goal is to be encouraging. It is merely a call to action. Here goes:

NO MORE NEGATIVITY !!

I encourage each and every one of you reading this to consider the possibility…[Read more]

It does not yet exist as such. The previous Volunteer Mentoring Board administered for the past several years by Big Jim P. was pulled down in the last week by Bill himself. All topics for the future may be posted and responded in the main section of our Board.

Hi Sal -

I appreciate your time and desire to generate a transaction. Thank you for your energy since joining the NARS Network and for your entries on this Board. This section of the Board is the right place for your original post in this string.

The responses that I have read indicate that many out there do not think that this is a good…[Read more]

I appreciate the lively conversation on this topic and even appreciate the revival of the string of posts on this topic from 17 months ago.

Once again, I have a different perspective than that of a poster on this Board. I am respectfully disagreeing. There is absolutely nothing that I see that is embarrassing here.

The last time this topic came…[Read more]

To all who posted on this string just since last night -

First of all, I must have missed the memo that allows you people to believe that you are able to continue to engage in name calling, whining and Bill-bashing on his web site. I encourage you all to consider the possibility of being civil and respectful. That is, please be so to Bill, to…[Read more]

1. Who was the escrow lady that gave a very brief introduction of herself/her biz?

Hi Don -

I appreciate your comments. The NEO is really only about eight years old and simply did not exist for the first dozen or so years that Bill was in business. Hundreds of transactions and deals took place and were completed before it was developed. Instead, he used what you suggested and attached the Appendix 1 from the Documentation…[Read more]

Hello oscar -

I am not really sure exactly what you are asking in your post. However, before placing specific items on your website that might be Bill Gatten’s materials or those of NARS in general, please check in with Steve Perez in the NARS Office for guidelines. Much of the info currently found on this website is designed as public domain.…[Read more]

Hi Alvin -

You had a baby?

I didn’t even know you were pregnant.

I appreciate your new time issues. I am not a father, yet, although most of my married friends with kids seem to think that I am one of the busiest people that they know. Always on the move. Always generating myself. Always up to something.

From my own personal…[Read more]

Thanks James.

I didn’t know about that one. That’s a cool trick.

Meanwhile, I have been in contact with our IT Department about adding the more recent tele-mentoring calls up to the website in the Members-only Section and this will be done in the near future.

Hi Rich -

I appreciate your time and apologize for any perceived lack of attention in your direction regarding your request for assistance. Your post regarding how to Search this Board for Key Words, Topics and Authors has been asked and answered several times over the years, including in a NARS Newsletter article referenced by a link in the…[Read more]

Let’s use an example transaction (which I posted in another thread, too).

I locate a homeowner willing to remain on his 7% existing note, which balance is $300,000. “As is” value is $320,000 but, with paint and carpet that I supply, the home’s value will be $360,000. If homeowner attempts to sell as is in the usual manner, the…

The Resident Beneficiary is NOT on title or in the chain of title.
The original owner is.
The Corporation acting as Trustee is.
That’s all folks !!

I think this may be another mis-communication.
The Resident Beneficiary is exactly that and nothing more.
They are a beneficiary to the Trust in whose Trustee legal title to the subject Trust is…[Read more]

Hello James -

(Insert Yoda voice) Correct, you are.

Please accept my apologies for leaving you typing at yourself for a few days.

There may be additional factors at work, but allow me to share a couple with you. Your comment about the keyboard shortcuts may be right on. This Board is generated using a rather simple version of php software and…[Read more]

Hello jeb -

My name is Joe Cain and I have Administrator privileges on this Board. I appreciate your contact and welcome you in to the universe of The Bill Gatten Center and North American Realty Services, Inc. Thank you for getting in touch. As you move forward farther into what occurs here, you will likely see the advantages of that which we…[Read more]
