secondly, if the "land trust" is used....i was told by this same escrow/title company [regional district supervisor] that the lender will not accept the "land trust" because they are qualifying the individual, not the trust....this is btw, the "end-buyers" lender....and this also is illustrating the "end-buyer" using traditional/conventional financing...not "cash" or "hard money"......thereby, limiting the option of this being used as a viable means to close this SS transaction.so, i guess the verdict is still out as to what is the real way to accomplish a successful SS closing where those of us doing this work can really each some pay.....

Dear Administrators,Is there any way you could get the "Make Deals, Find Partners, Mentors & BirdDogs, etc." forum organized by state or region?

Sorry, I should have mentioned that we are looking to start within a few 100 mile radius from Toronto, Canada.

That said, there could be a bull market in your region or area.

Are they regional, local, national, etc?

My interest in the mid-west is more for the Ohio region of the country.

Hey there Jillian,Nice to see more and more people joining biggerpockets from different regions everday!

I can also tell you that most of the crime in the country is isolated to the Limon region, the East Coast of the country.
