I'm guessing your hard money lender is flying by the seat of their pants or is only brokering if they don't have any proof of funds.

Church, playtime and some kite flying.

If the days on market are low and houses are flying off the market, you could probably pull it off.

The population tends to be more senior so bungalows fly of the shelf.

Also, if you are active in the market out there I would like to meet up for coffee or lunch or something if we are unable to meet at a meeting I am interested in that as well.So far my schedule looks like this:Jan 25th - Fly in see the family and get situatedJan 26th - Meeting with new lender and new broker (no exact times set yet)Jan 27th - Attending AREA Real Estate School in Waltham from 9am to 7pmJan 28th - Attending AREA Real Estate School in Waltham from 9am to 7pm and I will be rushing over last minute to try to catch the end of the Black Diamond Group's meet up which starts at 6pm (I am hoping I can get out of class a little early this day.)Jan 29th - Attending AREA Real Estate School in Waltham from 9am to 7pmJan 30th - Attending AREA Real Estate School in Waltham from 9am to 7pmJan 31st - Taking the MA Real Estate Broker Test at 12pm...Also, I might catch a train from Providence, RI to NY with my cousin for the super bowl from (Jan 31st to Feb 3rd).

It allows you to determine what your cash flow would be on any given house on the fly.

I told him that wouldn't fly and he gave me a bit about how "we would like to sell it to someone who wants to owner-occupy this property."

I have done a ton of research as I am a bit of an over preparer and not the jump in and learn on the fly type but the reality is that I have been focusing on educating myself for only about 3 months actively.
