=) but its ok, like you said when you open your mouth and seem to know what your talking bout people tend to give you a shot.

And I am going to be honest it may leave a bad taste in your mouth or my leave you wanting to dive head first into your next deal :)

I'm backed in the corner, big obligations with so many mouths to feed, I really have no choice.

You get GOOD contractors from word of mouth referrals.

And the ones that do most certainly won't be taking food out of the mouths of agents.As for telling them you'll be buying property with other people's money, I'm pretty sure that won't phase them -- I'm guessing that 99% of all real estate transactions are done with other people's money

You shouldn't be paying anywhere near FMV in this market - particularly if you can pay cash.My guess is your private lender will do 4 individual houses as well and I'm sure they would be even happier to be the note holder at 70% LTV versus 100% LTV - even moreso given that the 100% LTV deal would require some pricey repairs (roofs and foundation).

Just happier now knowing they have no reason to NOT report something.

Not bad mouthing the BP Summit but c'mon guys, wholesaling is not rocket science.He doesn't need an $800 class to do his first deals.

So I feel compelled to share this little nugget of entertainment with everyone.Yesterday I was walking through a small commercial property, which was deshevled to say the least, and I was completely taken aback once the 'broker' opened his mouth...Let me play Bob Ross for a second, picture.....Danny Divito in but not as good looking.

I have my SD IRA through IRA Services, I also use them for lending, and I couldn’t be happier.
