I just wanted to close this thread out by stating that I have received multiple emails and had an in depth conversation with current FIG investors, all of whom are very happy.  

Is an email with all this information the best way to start? 

@Jarrod Patterson  Depends on the reason for the temporary need from a local, also you have to screen financials some of these people may not be viable candidates even if they think they are.   

Your father will then need to email those leads he is interested in investing with to get on their investor distribution list.After that, your father will start getting emails about deals whenever a Lead brings one to the membership. 

I am on their email list.  

These are markets with somewhat to very affordable cash flow options that I have visted and loved and could see myself living for a temporary amount of time for a rehab/primary res, but don't have the minute data and information I am looking for.

I can email you an assignment contract.

@Donald Taite email me and we can discuss any questions you have
