What the national paid checks run by credit agencies are really good for is credit histories.

But something just did not add up with those guys ( and they were AZ based and slick as all get out) But to easy to approve me just send 10k for due diligence. only somewhat related but BiggerPockets really needs to acknowledge a new category of lender that falls in the Non-QM space (any mortgage thats not qualifying under the Agency QM rules - including DSCR lenders but also many established non-bank lenders that focus on pretty standard mortgage products that are part of the established Secondary Market and Finance Infastructure). 

@Russell BrazilAh yes, I forgot about forcing people into buyer agency.

I work in real estate lending full time (agency, capital markets, etc.) and honestly need help moving deals through the funnel and someone that is either experienced or coachable would be great.

Typically I work with investors who have a well thought out strategy but sometimes lack information about the Rochester market.

Meanwhile, the assets lack fundamentals, and rarely trade for remotely close to where they appraise.

Your realtor should also be working with you to find more opportunities if the MLS is lacking.

Though you can probably get a good price if you want to risk it getting burned down in a riot :p This is exactly true, and the lack of media coverage is a bit surprising. 

I've had 4 different local RE agencies assess the asset at €580K, €650K, €730K and €800K. 

The main reason at the moment is due to lack of liquid funds to get that converted.
