We won out mainly for purchasing without a loan (yes, hard money, although strong, can still go sideways in a deal).

It's "Diversified Investors Group" or "DIG" - Their main meeting is in the northern suburbs, but they also have smaller group meeting in and around the city.

Looking forward to hearing from you guys.TIA That is a bad move to have the tenant be manager/main person..

I had two properties appraised recently, one for refinance and one for other purpose. 

:)The most important thing in wholesale real estate is to stay sharp on your lead and deal acquisition, as these are the main "products" you're selling.Investing in strong outbound and inbound strategies to find off-market properties and their sellers is the foundation for success.Good luck!

For example, on what I thought was a relatively simple project in a bathroom reno which was fully gutted down to the studs already, I had more than one quote for over $7k to run pex supply lines and rough in a shower drain and toilet drain off of an existing main stack, all of which ended up costing me about $200 in pex lines, PVC fittings, and sawzall blades.If you need any hardwood flooring repaired, patched, or refinished, you can't beat Dave's Hardwood Flooring out of Blaine - $3k spent with them fully brought one of my duplex unit's original 100+ year old maple floors back to life.If you're putting in any stone counters in your kitchens or for bathroom vanities, Twin City Discount Granite have been awesome to work with, and consistently have the best pricing I've found in the area on fully installed granite and quartz.I also have a great drywall guy, as well as a really good carpet install guy - feel free to DM me if you want either of their contact info!

Merely posting for education purposes based on my experience working in the self-directed IRA industry for over 15 years.

there are 12 to 15 states that require state Mortgage lender license and NMLS registration to make any loan on a 1 to 4 unit regardless if its owner occ or investor so yes many HML / PML are licensed But.The rest of the states require NO license or registration to make Non owner occ commercial purpose loans on any homes or commercial property.

The PO Box mainly won't get used but in future I plan to use the address with any tenents.   

Fix/flip and wholesaling but mainly fix and flip in SF Bay Area.
