Loved the Brokers, got tired of the boards.Board members NEED training when they get elected.

Fun fact, >98% of every property on the MLS, was an off-market property until the agent/broker put it on the market.     

Also have you done any pre-dd-  driveby, discussions with broker, property managers and other real estate professionals about this property.   

Their exit strategy was they would act as a broker and try and sell them off as fast as possible for a profit but I believe they were overpaying for the loans.

A local broker will be your best bet. 

Could you put me in touch with that Broker, I'm an agent/Broker too, so would represent myself or my clients. 

If you are seeking an actual private lender or direct HML (as opposed to a third party broker) for an investment property transaction (not a consumer loan), there are numerous ways to identify them... consider starting your search here: https://aaplonline.com

Hey Rob, I'm a broker and investor up in Sacramento.

I will ask my broker about this. 

I recommend hiring either a PM or even a listing agent who you pay a half a month to a month of rent to get the unit rented.Just so you are aware, these tenants are your customers hence if you make the application process challenging and tedious at the very forefront of the process, most people don't got time for that.
