If he's driving for dollars he can text me an address and I can give him a lot of info virtually immediately before he's done doing a walk around...A percentage would certainly be nice, though I know it takes kissing a lot of frogs before you find a prince, so to speak, so I'm inclined to ask for a per file price as well. 

Hey Ron,How much is the purchase prince and what is the zip code?

@David Prince  Also, I'm not sure if you want to overwhelm every HML you meet with a thousand long documents ;) My recommendation is to have a summary ready and just ask for an approximation of what their rates are likely to be. 

@Kyle Gryba I’m looking in Prince Albert, low entry, and more often than not meets the 1% rule

again this is the new Nigerian prince scam that has come to real estate lending.Watch the American Greed episode on Remington financial and google Ingrid Robinson.. 

@Heather Skowronsky The property is (raw land) off of Hoadley Road between Prince William Parkway and 234.

@Christian Prince welcome to BP and the real estate world.

Typical reasons:Under capitalized properties - no money to maintain the property, rents drop, death spiralUntimely balloon payments - can lead to foreclosure if values are down, credit is tight, and the resulting LTV is too highPoor managementBad locationsFraudKiss a lot of frogs to find your prince.

Every city/town has its good areas, bad areas and niches you could get into.I invest in Port Alberni and Prince George.
