Your better off shopping the MLS and making offers than using NW. 

You have the QI as the payee, then the QI can shop the note. 

I was working full-time at motorcycle shop and used ALL my free time to do DD.

I have made more money, especially these last few years with the appreciation in areas like Third Ward/5th Ward/EADO than investing in safer areas like Katy, Cinco Ranch, and Cypress.

We can look up ownership on the county records here, I suggest you spend a few minutes trying that, but it's even safer to have a title report which runs about $65 to $95.

Observation 2:  With the COVID trend of people wanting to move out of the 'big city' (Toronto) and into 'safer' locations SSM appears to be one of the locations people are migrating towards (along with Northbay, and Sudbury). 

For commercial I always go with commercial brokers as the terms and rates always end up better than just shopping around at commercial banks.

Other than closing costs, it seems to be a safer way to go and probably wouldn’t have as much issue finding lenders if your DTI is acceptable.

Lots of shops, a mall, chain restaurants.

Otherwise investing in the stock market or better yet, a high interest savings account (mine is at 5.5%) can actually be a safer bet.If you are set on condos, I would be looking in Ventura County.
