I thought i could do it myself and i didnt use my circle of influence to help me. use your NETWORK#3 follow up, I did a big campaign and needed a property in a certain area and lo and behold. direct mail actually works. i got a call and found a hot lead and i let them off the hook!

How many installment deals, L/O, CFD, Sub-2 or variation thereof have you done that were more than five years long and ultimately closed?

I was seeing that banks typically want a LO to be at least 30mos before they consider it a disguised sale and could potentially trigger the due on sale clause.

Tell the LO everything up front so this doesn't come up on the drive report 

@Stephen Durante and @Michael LaBrot Thanks!

I can't seem to get 1%/mo. in rent, and lease-options seem impossible...either folks have the $3500 down and have qualified for a loan, or they don't have it and they can't qualify for a L/O.

For instance lets say the LO you are seeing on Friday says he can collateralize the property you want based on your credentials and give you a rate of X, you can use that basic information (your fico score, Loan to value, type of property, terms of the note) to compare with their competition and may be able to better your original deal with a qualified quote from their competitor.

Had this happen years ago when I was an LO handling a new construction.

Few years back I began taking online classes with Real Estate Express. At the very minimum this school was a joke. It was just read and then test. No videos or classroom discussions. No interactive learning what so ev...

:)@Tim Macy LO's are alive and well in TX...but none knows it...
