Despite popular option the fed nor a president has direct control over long term interest rates.

Assumption by an EntityUnfortunately, assuming a VA loan directly through a legal entity (such as an LLC, corporation, or trust) is typically not allowed because:Primary Residence Requirement: VA loans are designed for owner-occupied properties, meaning the assuming borrower must intend to live in the property as their primary residence.Credit Review: The VA and lender require the assuming party to undergo a personal credit and income review to ensure repayment ability, which entities cannot satisfy.3.

We've tried most of the systems you've mentioned, as well as the ones that more directly compare to Flipper Force, that are industry specific.In my opinion, Flipper Force has more to offer, with less of the things you don't need.

Looking to build a boots on the ground team that can really guide me in the right direction and be my eyes and ears.

I hope you are asking two separate unrelated questions, because there's no point in doing cost segregation for properties held inside your self-directed solo 401k, save for some very rare exceptions.Some of the Bigger Pockets experts who operate reputable costs segregation companies are @Bernard Reisz, @Yonah Weiss and @Julio GonzalezSome of the Bigger Pockets experts who offer Solo 401k administrator services are @Dmitriy Fomichenko, again @Bernard Reisz and @Brian EastmanReach out to them and see if they can help.

Firstly, well done for persevering and trying every avenue you thought would get you the data you needed.Most would have caved earlier and handed out there hard earned cash for old, saturated leads/records from the same prominent platforms which dump them pretty much when they receive them from either 1).the same large brokers AFTER the county has listed them on the county website or, 2). from the counties themselves directly AFTER the county has listed them on there own website, or, 3). from data scrapers on Upwork/Fiverr who scrape the data from those same platforms AFTER the counties/brokers sell those platforms the data being scraped by the freelancers.Anyway, rant aside you seem to of made the same mistake i made when I first started branching out away from providing leads to my original couple of clients i got from Upwork who wanted me to scrape data from court records in FL for pre FC leads.Simply, I didn't know where to look for the information I needed in states outside of FL.FL only allows the judicial route to foreclosure so I only needed to know/find/scrape the data from Lis Pendens documents for counties they requested.
