One pa signed and maybe anothe pa will be signed within a month.Normally the response rate for mailings is 1%  here we have over 3% and one executed PAHappy investing every one!

Until now I was under the impression the process started with an actual executed contract that has a property to be able to take to the underwriters.

Doing multiple exit strategies doesn't mean you are combining them into one...it means you are analyzing for the ability to execute at least one of them...and the more different strategies you analyze that will work, the more risk controls you have in place when you enter the property.

The public records show the Engineering Executive Summary Report of recommendations and also the foundation consultant company that performed the repairs NOC.While the engineering company has a good descriptive summary and many references to the Florida Statutes, the NOC just lists "foundation repair" with no other description of work that would be done.I called both companies to get a copy of the actual final report and neither would relinquish a copy because I'm not the "owner".

I know traditional banks usually don't do these and I've tried a bank in Raleigh NC but the loan officer stated that the chief executive wouldn't allow them to do this type of loan this quarter due to the amount of properties they've had to take back by foreclosure.

What was your plan, how'd you execute it and what advice can you give on things to do/not do?

If you are a lawyer, high level executive, or something else that pays well but takes most of your time/concentration, then I think passive investing is a great deal.

I have over 30 years of experience in the mortgage & construction fields, and am presently working for a national reference laboratory as an executive assistant in Salt Lake City,Utah. 

Although, that may be because the seller doesn't show the property unless it's under executed contract.I still wanted to ask about it because I was thinking about that property since about a month ago but because I am a newbie, I need to know if I am on the right track before I pull any trigger.
