One of the best ways to find them is word of mouth.  

I'm sure they don't teach underwriting.They probably touch on the paper work shuffle, that's easy.Lets hear the subject matter, not the secrets as there aren't any, from  those who think they learned something.And saying teach you how to have more credibility with hedge funds, horsefeathers, I can tell a monkey how not to stick their foot in their mouth, the lingo, the requirements and pump some hourly paid administrator.

@Rick Baggenstoss I totally understand and the fact that its my first deal I am happier that I am doing my research and getting input, than being disappointed its not a good deal.

We can't say 3 years is bad, we can't say mess with the price because the term is longer.I suppose there could be a basic flow chart for SF deals, residential and commercial, but the bottom line is that you need look into the future on these deals, not so much as what the circumstances are today.I do my best never to put words in Will's mouth, but I do see an implication that having "50 off the book" seller financed loans seems to be some advantage to obtain future conventional loans.

I have had other wholesalers in my market go to my sellers and bad mouth me and my company just so that the seller would back out.

Enjoy, word of mouth can be the best way to meet a lawyer.Another idea that I am researching right now is prepaid legal services that offer access to real estate attorneys.

I've got a network that wants to pay all cash for drive-able properties in the Greater Seattle Area (probably tri-county) and they will probably go for lower cap rates.But for my personal investments I get happier at 10+ caps.
