@Mike D'Arrigo This video was done a week ago w a RMLO in San Diegowith me talking about Seller Financing and Dodd Frank[Edited]Weak real estate agents that do not talk about seller financing as a tool to help home sellers sell on terms should be sued for malpractice.Help the home sellers sell, any way that is a win win.

Preying off the newbies, make them do the leg work, sit back, just swoop in for the kill and share with many instead of beating your feet digging up less than half for the whole thing.Guess you could say the strong feed off the weak.

The process is weeding out the weak, unprofessional and uncommitted.

Still a little weak now.Have a good weekend.Rodney G.

It also make you look like a weak buyer.

I mean tenants involved in severe domestic violence resulting in hospitalizations and tenants who enjoyed such pursuits as disassembling motorcycles and gasoline engines in their family room, in addition to being chronic deadbeats.In the process of taking the bull by the horns and evicting these tenants, I learned (in an extremely painful and costly way) more than I ever wanted to know about Massachusetts landlord-tenant law.

From my experience, people are more hesitant about exposing their best sources for deal-flow, and also the things that are typically weak in any market (contractors & property managers). 

Markets can be good for both, but are usually strong for one and weak for another.Michigan is great for holds and because of that many out of state investors are coming here to buy holds.  

We put a lot of stop gaps in where only certain amounts of that go hard once certain contingencies are lifted.It's not just about the amount but the written language in the contract for EM.25k is reasonable for 1,750,000.I would care more about the borrower then EM only because if it's someone trying to buy a 1.75 million property but liquidity and net worth is weak then I don't like my chances of the buyer closing.

At 5+ units, you're in commercial territory, so amount of loans shouldn't even be an issue unless your global DTI is weak, but it doesn't sound like it.
