I know an investor that might partner with you on the lot next door and/or may buy your lot without the title policy.

MAREI meets next week - we have a new meeting place starting on the 12th at the Double Tree. 

As you are finding out, it is so local that the next door building effects your investment. 

If you do the out reach yourself it will take time and money.

Eric,, I think why people go for the fund model is the idea that they are spreading their money into multiple notes being held by the company.. while in theory this is great but as you noted you don't really have any security compared to being the beneficiary of the debt instrument IE debt is in your name. 

Yes the VA OTC loan is a great product. 

Here's a good breakdown of your options for tax collecting starting Feb 1 based on the new regulations.

If they push back and demand a 60-day notice, then extend your notice to the full 60 days.Example: The lease expires in 40 days and the tenant demands a full 60-day notice.

Steps: you go under contact with the owner of the property, you assign the purchase and sale agreement to the end buyer, the end buyer closes, and you get paid the difference between the agreed-upon price between you and the owner and the intended purchase price of the end buyer. 

@Jesi Young I like the tone of your post.
