The value of using an agent to sell a property isn't some inherent marketing prowess, as there are many many agents who have no clue what they are doing just like there are tons of ignorant wholesalers, but rather having some recourse at the state level and through their e&o insurance when they approach a transaction fraudulently or negligently.

Originally posted by @Harry Gamble:@Brandt Baize I would want to know why the seller is selling.

@Vincent Chen Insurance prices certainly have been rising as a result of fraudulent roofing claims, but the state is working hard to get a handle on that to bring premiums down for everyone.

I do find the blockchain technology extremely useful for some applications and has benefits but "investing" in virtual real estate is more like gambling if you ask me.

I just got a new client who's prior CPA fraudulently made up $30k of expenses anually against their $3k a year of sport coaching income in a partnership on which he used himself (the CPA) and the 2nd owner to allow a partnesrhip. 

I re-read his message and he was saying his bank account is frozen due to fraudulent actions. 

It feels a little bit like a gamble. 

If you want to buy an apartment complex with one formula to start though, you might as well be gambling… and flying to Vegas is a lot easier than buying real estate.#7A mastery of numbers is useless without an ability to communicate findings.

They offer programs very similar to hard money lenders but their rates are only 1-2% higher than conventional.They will not be able to close in 3 days like a HML would but they offer better rates, term, and they are licensed so you do not have to worry about fraudulent activity.You can either go through a mortgage broker or through them directly.

Its a gamble, but I think rates will moderate so when you transfer them to the LLC you might be able to get better rates on the commercial loans when you refinance during the Title transfer.
