Folks just have to realize NO money up front and especially.I wish BP would be able to tag the American Greed episode on REmington financial and tag Ingrid Robinsons website .. these were classic cases of fake lenders.. with Ingrid being the victim and taking down Remington who had been doing this for over 20 years.. those guys had some cajones they took Due Diligence and deposit money for all those years but never over 10k so anyone complaining it would not go anywhere.. it was said on the show that in all those years they closed no more than 3 or 5 loans.. both the principals got major prison time.the issue today is most of these folks are hiding on the internet or are off shore very tough to catch and your not getting any funding or money back thats a given.

thanks for posting this, it's amazing - basically took investors money and paid out as dividends to old and existing, just like Bernie Maddoff did, he owned very little unprofitable real estate simply as a fake patina of a business to drive the LPs to invest from pg 3 of indictment"Each investor in the Fund also received a written guarantee from NRIA of an annual return of at least twelve percent per year for a period of five years plus a full return of their investment, or else any shortfall would be paid by NRIA."

Make promises and stick to them.

I wouldn't necessarily say that this shift is here to stay, but we definitely have to make some changes to our acquisition process to accommodate creative deals and novations.This shift is due to the saturation of the major markets, resulting in newcomers in the business offering too much for properties and not delivering on those promises, realtors promising too much for listings only to have them heavily decreased or canceled six months later, and the small increase in supply that we have experienced since the beginning of the year.But yes!

This is how hotels often catch people faking service animals, as the person checks into the rooms, and then immediately leaves for 5hrs and leave the dog behind.  

I live in South Florida and it's basically cooked down here so I have been scouring my state and found fairly promising properties under or around 250k but it's 5 hours away from where I live?!

If anyone's aware of any promising deals worth exploring, I'd greatly appreciate it if you could share the details with me.

However, recently a good friend of mine from church (who happens to have an extensive experience in RE) offered me to partner up to help me start and without me having to put any money, just asked me to contribute to him by finding a low cost deal, help with the process and he promised me to split profits equally if either selling or holding.

Please share your insights if anyone has encountered negative feedback or reasons to avoid doing business with this group. only actual review I found online was just posted on Feb 16th, and looks fake...  

The city's strong rental market driven by a growing population ensures a steady income stream and with affordability as well as a median home price below the national average, Cleveland stands out as an attractive option for those seeking a promising return.
