chip in Ipad by terrific

Documents required for owner financing by ska8er47499
Hi, Does anyone know what documents/papers are required if I wish to buy land/home with owner financing? Many thanks!

I'm not sure what service anyone has suggested, but I used a T-Mobile HotSpot device. That seems to work pretty good. However, if your cell phone can make international calls you should be able to tether off of it. I think. Hope that tidbit ... Read More
