I suppose the main question is, does this company actually come through.

How do I get the phone numbers of the owners of the properties?

Quote from @Patrick Roberts: Angel oak and A&D mortgage are two of the bigger lenders that I know of who will do 2nd's on investment properties as of a few months ago.

@Asseille OdelCFRI.netCheck out the calendar of events and start volunteering - it’s the best way to meet people there.

Quote from @Mackaylee Beach: I think these times (the last two years), and this year are the ones that will give birth to some of the best investors.

I had a non-performing loan once where a borrower would do a deed in lieu, but there was a deceased co-borrower, and my attorney required me to go through the foreclosure process to clear title.The borrower knows you’re foreclosing and does not contest the foreclosure and “turns over the keys” to the lender.  

Quote from @Steven McPherson: The 10-year is pessimistic about the next few years. 

I've gone through 4 different ones in the past 4 years and I've finally found a good one.

I want to diversify and I feel like the best way to accomplish that is through real estate.

I'm not accredited, and unless my business explodes, it's not likely I will be in the next few years.
