I'm not looking to reinvent the wheel. 

@Vincent Pflieger I see the wheels turning.....

It’s like training wheels—each deal teaches you something, and the stakes are lower if you mess up.

That was an excellent non-answer to my question, Skyler. hihi :)No they are not all the same. some are only interested in dealing with conventional purchases other are as you say better at handling assignments or double closes, some are commercial specialty, etc....A investor friendly one would be, at least from my point of view, one that understands there may need to be some last minute wheeling, dealing, and adjustment made to close a deal, understand what needs to be done and do not freak out about creative deals.Maybe my understanding or thoughts are wrong but that's what I meant by investor friendlyregards :) 

Great, we only need to take 1/2 inch off on one side and at the top and we began to plane the door.

I looked into it and at the moment won't qualify OHFA, but I did see that a new program is starting up in CH next month.

IMO: It looks like regulators were asleep at the wheel here, just like they were concering the big banks and derivative providers like AIG.Whew, ok background done….

While I believe I operated with many of these strategies and tactics EVENTUALLY, I spent a long time “spinning my wheels” early on when trying to negotiate before establishing a rapport.  

I'm just hoping not to reinvent the wheel. 

Of course, the smaller the property, the more necessary that you see every inch of it because there isn't a business running on top of the land like large-scale multifamily, self-storage, industrial, and more.
