The day before we closed, he issues a lease renewal to his buddy for 18 months.

This lender was obviously unfriendly towards investment lending very early on, but this experience makes me wonder if I am breaking some kind of real estate buddy code, as if lenders are faithfully partnered with particular agents.

From my buddies that flip mobile homes, lots of driving for dollars and looking for potential homes to buy.

@Samuel Hopkins me buddy 😃

My buddy spent around 50k with Than Merrill’s workshops and hasn’t done that well in real estate.

Or maybe you mention that you have a buddy who is a realtor in that area instructing them to send you a message for his/her info. 

@TJ Watson What's up buddy?? 

A good buddy and I are looking at a property that has 3br and is listed for 140k.

In theory you would pay off the Land Contract and do a Lease Option with your buddy.
