I've been a licensed lender since 2008 and have flipped hundreds of homes.

Trying to do it yourself can result in months of delay, which will cost you way more than a few hundred bucks.

For a few hundred more it is well worth it in my opinion.

My question is with there being hundreds of mortgage foreclosures listed.

It contains hundreds of files such as ebooks, checklists and spreadsheets for real estate investors: https://www.biggerpockets.com/filesGood luck.

Since then, I have done hundreds of deals over the various strategies.

You pay off the 135k loan and take back your 14k plus closing and holding costs - 20k and you are left with about 6k that is cash in your pocket.So now you are +6k, and you have a renter in there paying your mortgage and putting a couple hundred per month in your pocket and you used 0 of the 150k to do it, or I should say you left 0 in the project.You wanna create a funnel, an environment where you can get 3x - 5x of these done every year, and if you holding look for the 2 - 4s buildings. 

BTW, I have a 2 decade long Facebook profile and hundreds of "friends" something you don't usually see with scammers (new profiles created with very few friends).  

I have been interested in buying a laundromat but have been hesitant thus far because the only ones I have found have been on leases and I’m worried about investing hundreds of thousands of dollars into something that can be terminated or significantly altered with the end of the lease.

For me, it's not worth the time to save just a few hundred dollars by leveraging these policies.
