Do they pay within 5 days of the first of the month (in some states that is not late)? 

I am looking to connect with local (to myself) investors who have made the leap out of state. 

Dallas has to be meetup central.Two I like are NTAREI that normally meets on Thursdays maybe 1-2 times a month. 

Holding this for 1 month (hoping that's enough to refi) that's $5k.So my aim is to save money overall by making a cash offer and close it soon.

Happy to connect and share ideas!

(I know, nothing is certain but just hypothetically) and all cash out loans are not created equal. if you have a lot of equity you can borrow up to 60% with the lowest rate possible, which would be close to a half point lower then borrowing up to 75% loan to value. 

Get ready for a month full of learning, networking, and real estate opportunities.

Now, you need to figure out how to find deals and pay for them.

If the credit screening costs $25, then you earn nothing.I believe there are exceptions for a higher fee, but you have to stick to the actual cost of the screening.I would talk to an attorney before charging more than $25 per applicant.

I mean really robust and to us the money is made finding those pearls of land that can be developed
