@Jonathan Greene @Jay Hinrichs @Nicholas L. short sales are almost always done through RE agents and are a major pain the butt if the lender servicer wont respond in a timely fashion.Pre foreclosure you dont use and agent but if your talking NY I think and not totally sure but I think only an attorney can draft the Deed transfering title .

Introduced to a GC through a mutual friend.

I'm an investor and a licensed mortgage broker so I'd be happy to talk through my experience as both.

I have a friend going through something similar and it can indeed be a hot mess.

You need to be able to view any of those types of opportunities through two lenses... one is the eager learner that says, "Hey, they are talking my language, I can do this, I'm going to be rich, he has the plan and its so easy!!!"...

This will save you on subscription costs.If you want to discuss any of this further, I'm happy to answer questions and help walk you through it.Best of luck!

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

Our partner Carol Tarnowski brought this opportunity to us through her local connections.

It’s worth considering the trade-offs between the stability of income and the increased oversight and hoops you'll have to jump through.

I went through this whole process recently of researching for Real Estate CPA and finally went with referral from friend that also invests in real estate.
