Christopher, I am glad you came to reason on this, getting RE financing thru manipulation of any kind has a way of either pissing off people you don't want to, earning a nice pair of silver linked bracelets with a free 10X10 condo, or both.

I have a property in Eagle Rock Resort which I am looking to make the best use of.

Your realtor can get access to this list, even further narrowing down the list to your specific criteria but thenyour realtor can further actually reach out to the expired listing seller and bring you to them with an offer on a silver platter.Try finding a list of expired listings with delinquent taxes.  

but unless Ed and Jon are just "really slick" salesmen, I don't know WHY they would go out of their way to say they aren't "gurus," and only charge "one time opt- in" fees vs. the near CONSTANT "upgrades" (although I do see something very similar to Legrand's approach, on an older website that's still up, with Silver, gold, platinum, etc. type of "mentorship programs) and HOW exactly are they (otherwise) making "residual money" if NOT by helping others "do deals" and then taking 50% of the IGP???

Where Highland park, silver lake, eagle rock, NELA areas - are commanding higher rents and azusa, glendora, covina are a lot less expensive to buy, but rents also are a bit lower. 

I used Bob Doody of Silver Star Electric, he was good and affordable. 432.413.7514.

Participation Award: $800/door Bronze: $850/door Silver: $875/door Gold: $900/doorI have interior photos uploaded to my google drive here.Here's my analysis of the local rent and the rehab items I'm considering. 

There is no silver bullet, never has been and never will be when it comes to knowledge, it takes time and effort, neither can be paid for or purchased. :)

Even though I don't want to manage the properties myself, I still want them close enough that I can keep an eagle eye on them.

I've done two high quality whole house renovations in Silver Spring in the past two years.
