When I attempted to do a similar flip in another county in Texas, where I was unfamiliar with the nuances of the area, my “slam dunk” deal ended up as a $40k loss!. 

We are Canadian in invest in the US.We work in the Detroit market where we have a great team on the ground and are finding exceptional deals.

I feel direct mail is another great method.

I've been in the real estate lending industry for over a decade, helping investors secure funding for their deals.

If it is a direct lender you are able to work to find more favorable terms because they usually determine their terms on a deal by deal basis. 

Could you describe the Process or Deal Analysis or execution that failed on this deal?

Should you need fast and flexible financing to move on deals quickly, I’d be happy to help.

In the meantime, I'd like to get my Texas Real Estate License, but would like to know if I could do a few deals remotely before return back stateside to Texas, and can come into the office. 

Hey Maxwell,Find an area that you would like to farm and start sending out oversized postcards via the USPS's Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM). 

I'd do it on a terms deal. 3yr in total.
