The problem (as you have cited) is trying to understand what you need (you don't know what you don't know), where to get it, qualifying its source(s), and the validity and usefulness of all that.Pardon me if I've gone into this too much, but I meet many people with the same concerns that you are voicing and this is offered, as much as possible in direct response to your post.Please feel free to contact me if you have any comments or questions. 

This guy's name (Mario Cotto) came up as a red flag at our meeting last month.

Because of illiquidity and the fact that it was in default and a foreclosure sale was scheduled, it was valued at $21K.

I'd love to attend these meetings. 

We went back to the first offer and let him know that if he wanted to meet the second offer, then we would sell it to him.

Great to meet you. 

- Trying to meet the unrealistic expectations of newbie investors is tough/impossible for even the best PMCs!

Looking forward to meeting like minded Real Estate Investors

I do but the current intrest rate i have it as is 3 percent. would a bridge loan or seller financing work to meet the down payment?

They have other nice benefits also such as not charging for appraisals if the deal doesn’t close, a great reputation amongst local listing agents with meeting deadlines/ great customer service/ getting the job done with no b.s. and they can often close in under 14 days.
