Hello all,I recently transitioned from finance to real estate, am looking for deals to fund and my question is two-fold:1) Investors - for those of you funding your investment properties with hard money, where / how are you identifying your funding sources and what are the most important criteria in arranging your financing?

Identify the sizes that fit your deal size in 2 above.  

As a better alternative, I'm in the process of identifying a reputable lender to refinance each condo individually.  

Once you've identified the city you want to invest in, I would start building your CORE 4. 

Building department where you would bring in building plans to get approved see if they have anything identified as being a red flag to that parcel.. ( its a small parcel so unless something is really weird there should not be anything..  )  Unless its a remainder parcel and the size is not big enough to legally build on  that happens in tax sales.

I'm still in the infancy stages of my REI journey. i've been attending many REI Meet ups and seminars and have been meeting some great people! what I've noticed is a lot people have business cards and so this is why i...

I've had bad experiences with two different property management companies in Columbus that stemmed from them not taking timely action on repairs that cost me a lot of money and also not identifying obvious things in inspections that led to higher turnover rates and increased the time that it took to get the unit ready for the next tenant. 

You can put your dream home that you've identified under contract now, with a Realtor, and make it contingent on selling your home. 

There is a river behind my property and the town / state required a wet land scientist to preform a survey to identify the "high water mark" which was placed at the edge of my property. 

I've reached out to about 50,000 contacts during this period but a few potential sellers a came across seem to already have realtors.My current approach involves using Deal Machine to identify potential properties by zip code, focusing on those with unknown sale dates or built dates before 2000.
