I am a licensed realtor based in Atlanta, Georgia, and I am currently working on obtaining my mortgage origination license.

Now they are required to obtain a commission agreement before setting foot in a property to show it to you. 

Quote from @Michael Ewers: Hey y'all, Wondering what is the best marketing strategy for obtaining off market leads?

We do not necessarily plan to keep each of our properties indefinitely, which makes this exercise not as relevant for some of our ventures. 

At one point I was told I could obtain funding (non-conforming was the term that was used) with 12 months of bank statements.My question is what would make me more appealing to a lender; should I continue with 1099 work or go to W2??

In New Hampshire, title laws are strict, so we couldn’t move forward without obtaining a signature from a living heir.The title company dug deep and eventually located a distant relative—a niece of the deceased owner, two generations removed.

If possible, in the future I would try to obtain a copy of a standard Condo questionnaire from the HOA prior to the mortgage application process and ask your lender to review it in advance in order to mitigate some of the time and costs risks associated.

I can’t comment on anything the wholesaler did to obtain the deal, that I’m not sure.

It's easy to obtain, costs very little, and doesn't require extra, on-going effort to maintain.

It is more expensive but may not require an appraisal and can close in a couple of weeks. if I can wait then I use the most competitive rehab. lender after obtaining multiple quotes.
