This particular prospect indicated that I could only charge first month's rent and security.I scoured the web and forums to see if there is anything preventing me charging first and last, but I don't see it.

I have been reading (scouring) the forum on SDIRA/SDIRA-LLC/SOLO-401K information, and am absolutely confused!

I have also scoured various sites and they are coming close to the same value.  

I began scouring foreclosures, REO’s, and craigslist.Eventually, I came across an SFH REO that had been on the market for 15-16 months.It was initially listed at $89,900, and was down to $39,900 by the time I looked at it.It clearly had plumbing and a kitchen for an un-permitted 2nd unit upstairs.The conversion from SFH to duplex would be easy.It basically needed everything.I decided to put an offer in.I felt like I could make the numbers work at $25,000For those still reading, here was the process: My initial offer was $10,000 w/ $500 EMD all cash.They countered at $35,000I went up to $15,000 and they stayed put (oops, over-played it)So, I counter at $17,500—best and final offer.They counter down to $25,000 w/ $2500 EMDI email my lender, and let him know that I am at $25,000 (he knows that was the target was), and told him that I wasn’t done and wanted to bring him down further.He says “Let me get this straight.You got them down from $40,000 to $25,000 which is 37.5% off asking price, and you want to get them down further???”

Start to scour the market for this building.

I've scoured ROAM, the County Clerk's office, google, linkedin, and a variety of other websites trying to find office or contact information. 

I have been and will continue to scour BP to learn as much as I can from everyone here.

I starting scouring the internet and bigger institutions and it seems the lenders doing HELOCs on investment properties has dwindled.
