@Tamara Thomas I think it's a solid idea to go to some REIA meetings and get to know some buy and holders and flippers.

Can the POA holder seller finance me the property for a few months to allow me to rehab the property, list it and sell it?

Any property holders over there?

Looking for a lawyer that can look over a situation I am in as a second note holder in a property.

That is an option as long as your first lien holder notes don't preclude additional indebtedness on the collateral. 

I'm curious how you deal with the 1-2% rule. Do you lower the percentage to make a deal work or do you just end up putting more down? Or just find extremely good deals?? Or just not buy and hold lol.Also on new constr...

I am interested in possibly making offers on shares from limited partners in RELPs and am posting here to see if anyone knows how I can get access to information regarding these entities and lists of their share holders.

Where I am between 30-90 days a letter is send to the mortgage holder.

My usual rule of thumb is that if you can’t investigate the title on a property that’s going to auction, and understand everything that you find, then you probably shouldn’t be bidding.Buying after it goes to auction and the bank takes it back and then lists it (known as an REO property) can be safer, but is still not without risk for newer investors because the banks usually have addendums that override the usual purchase & sale agreement, heavily in their favor.In foreclosures/auctions, if it really interests you, I’d say don’t bid unless you have some kind of advantage most/all other bidders won’t have, such as you’ve actually been inside the property or spoken with the occupants, you’ve bought out one of the other holders (or even the former owner!)

And since you must exchange for actual real estate and cannot exchange into improvements on property you already own, the QI forms a holding entity called the Exchange Accommodating Title Holder (EAT) The EAT takes title to that land and then holds it while you control and use it.
