I wonder if your local MLS provider has a list of MLS_only brokers in their system?

If the electronic lock fails, you provide the tenant with the code so they can access the key.

If it is someone you know you can give them a straight return as if its a loan - can provide a lower interest rate to provide upside - it really depends on the lender and what are they concerned with and what is their risk profile. 

Same to me on Zillow, I think it’s because Zillow makes money providing or finding loans.

I'm happy to go walk the property and take photos and provide a simple report of the information you want to help you make a decision. 

Do you need to provide proof of funds at the bid or are the actual funds due at the time you win bid?

An unencumbered outlook is therefore necessary to provide some comfort in the gnarly world of distressed property.

where can we find places-websites to analyze areas that will provide positive cash flow?

@Chris Agun - I love the flexibility that a HELOC provides. 

@Marc Zak Using an LLC for each property provides strong liability protection by isolating risks to individual assets, with income and expenses flowing through to your personal taxes on Schedule E.
