biggest, by far, is the Federal government.
others that I've heard are fairly large [but nowhere close to the Feds]:
paper companies [the wood comes from somewhere]
Ted Turner has recently bought a fair bit of land -- i think he's still a lot smaller than the paper companies
St. Joe Company [real estate developer]
Catholic Church
McDonald's [over 10,000 of the most valuable "street corners" in America]
In a Chapter 7 liquidation...?
We are filling Chapter 7 and own a home next to a HELOC of $200k. Can we include the HELOC in the Ch. 7 and still hold our home? The loan (1st) for the home is $425k and most (similar) homes are being foreclosed on and if selling, are simply going for about $510-550k within our area. The advocate said we would have to profile and foreclose (we cannot afford both payments)...even with eliminate our credit card debt.Answers: probably not or everyone would be doing it, u can keep the home if u reaffirm next to both lenders but then u owe 625 on a house worth as u read out 510-550, if u dont reaffirm the lenders are going to try and get something the first holder get paid sour the full 425 at sale and the second would catch at least 85 if the property go for 510 do u think they are going to hike away from all of it. sorry its probably not going to develop that way and if they can verbs at least 85 they probably will come for the house. possibly its best to rent for a while clean up your credit and afterwards buy again in a couple of years a home u can afford gl to u u of course are not the only ones within this situation.
Could I gain a cheap aparment in need credit if I payed deposit + 2 months ahead?
Would this work in some apartments?Answers: Most places solitary require a months rent and 1 months rent for deposit. I have rented an apartment twice in a minute and only have to pay the deposit and 1 months rent. Most places will do a perspective check and need some reference, but other than that you should be fine.
yes within some cases.
If you have a shaky history and they are ready to
rent to you.
The more money they can get from you
as a deposit the merrier. And rent. Most predictable
they will claim deposit money, than rent in mortgage.
You might tear the place up. So what's the profit
to them letting you being within risk status?
