Going to save my way to greatness!

But as of right now I want to wholesale and maybe buy some preforeclosures for myself to rehab and rent.

The best market is likely a "Good" cash flow market that you have some ties to, in some way shape or form, or one that is a reasonable drive from where you live, if practical/possible. 

SMLLC = You to the IRS. - You can potentially sell to an S Corp you own.

I have been referring the people to the prequalification form that RentRedi uses prior to setting up a viewing.

If it's a lender that does not allow me to speak to an underwriter, see guidelines, or speak to an account manager, I will try not to work with them, unless I know the Account Executive is very experienced. 

Good to know as I have a property coming on the market and we had one off market offer already all cash but at 10% list price discount (which we most likely will reject).Curious if you think the california fires will assist the market since many of those people need places to live for years and I am guessing some will flee california?

I would even suggest a Primary home or Vacation home to pull the cash out of versus trying to find a lender who will agree to be in 2nd lien position behind a investment property.

Contracting is all about relationships , knowing who to call and when to call them .

Good stuff, it is a much different market today.
