@Alicia Shen If you know who Neal Bawa is, he has said on multiple occasions lately that Idaho Falls, ID is his #1 market right now. 

Since this will probably be a rare occasion, don't need to set aside funds. 

@Bradley AuclairOn the rare occasion one of my tenants are late, I graciously take the late fee.

For partial demos yes, like you I do a lot of my own demo but they have saved my bacon on a couple occasions.

I have heard on many occasions that credit unions are the way to start.

As you know the key in this business in having relationships with types of individuals who sell loans.Once you have built relationships then yes you can automate it - what I do is every quarter I send out an email to people who I have bought from or who have noted they sell assets on occasion and let them know if they have inventory then let me knowI would say that is probably the best way to automate without having an employee on staff to do it.

I have already talked to the person in which the property belongs to on several occasions, since its a close friend, and now they are waiting on me to make up my mind.

If a guest mentions it's a special occasion we'll do something like a bottle of wine, and similar touches.

They offer a variety of products for residential and commercial loans.I know on occasion, they issue multiple loans for multiple properties at the same time, but I've never heard of a single loan for truly distinct properties. 

But on those very rare occasions when I have requested to see one he has sent it via email to me so I know he's keeping adequate records.
