The cause of the 2008-2010 Great Recession was bad real estate loans - if you could fog  a mirror, you could get a mortgage!

Distressed properties are real estate assets that are usually sold at a discount due to financial or physical distress.

Noone bring me any REALLY good deals for the next 1-15 days, or I am subject to counter claims...Real estate industry.... get your act together.

It's always important to screen anyone you are doing business with. 

Trusting what the franchise tells you is foolish.I can tell you this: there are companies selling leads to real estate agents all the time.

A good real estate accountant can save them thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend that they find a tax accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.I would also recommend that they look for a accountant willing to work with them throughout the year, who can help them strategize and who is responsive when they want to know the consequences of the financial decisions they are making throughout the year.Good luck.

Personally, I think this company is probaby about to go out of business - they have lots of inventory, and it's not exactly prudent to be investing in FL in the coastal areas now anyway.  

Everyone says to find properties and build a buyer's list, but neither matter if you can't calculate the repair costs and also get access to a friend or colleague who has MLS so you can do a proper and real ARV (the other part where all wholesalers fail).

For an SBA hotel loan, the SBA may guarantee say 30% of the loan and a traditional bank takes the next 50%...total LTV/LTC of 80%...will vary by business but it's higher/better than the previous replies (otherwise, you would just get a traditional commercial loan without the SBA involved). 

I'm almost positive I've seen Memphis real estate agents post on the forums.
