Hey Max my business partner and I are agents and investors here in Phoenix ourselves.

Off market and the new the owner used an agent so I reached out to the agent and made an offer How did you finance this deal?

Contractors, unless you have a working relationship with them, normally do not want you bouncing ideas off them.Understand what their hourly rate is, have a discussion with them that you are okay with paying them an hourly rate if they walk the property with you and provide you a scope of work along with an explanation of what you can/can't get away with in regards to improvements.ask them if you go with them, if they can credit you the amount that you paid.Once you develop a working relationship with a few contractors, you can bounce ideas off them and expect quality responses.I do not invest in New York.Best of luck. 

Keep the text from the “reliable” tenant that shows they provided the addresses you sent the letters to. 

Hi Vijay, Can you provide pics, the zip code and numbers so readers can evaluate your deal? 

I joined Ryan Zolin’s Agent Investors course and I love it.

Unless there is an emergency situation, take a lot of photos and call your insurance agent before doing any repairs.

Additionally, there was no business license registered in the City of Atlanta.Suspicious Communication: The individual identified as Chris Anderson had a heavy foreign accent and provided convincing but dubious claims about the company's legitimacy.Questionable Financial Arrangements: Upon loan approval, the wiring instructions directed the loan fee to a Capital One checking account under the name of a supposed loan facilitator—a 85-year-old woman in Florida.

In order to find, agents and lenders.

He seemed like a big-time agent who works with a lot of long-term investors.
