@Alex Craig  unfortunately the cycle in these price point homes is just a rinse repeat cycle.. burnt out landlord syndrome.. local wholesaler investor snags them from out of area buyer tired of losing money.the chances are greater than 99% that htis person will never make a dime first 3 months his cash loss's will equal 3 to 4 years of cash flow so he will never catch up... and now he is stuck.. property as it sits is probably not worth more than 15k or so to a local wholesaler / low end turn key buyer... sad but true.And its why I always preach on BP buy the BEST you can buy not the cheapest.. the cheapest in the midwest markets is only appropriate for locals that own lots of these and do it for a living.. these are simply not appropriate for out of area passive investors they get killed financially .

I've not spent a dime on any of those.Yes I am new and exciting m proceeding slowly with plans of financial independence.

You can do a lot to educate yourself, etc that doesn't cost you a dime while you figure out what your next step is.I'm located in Mesa.

Unlicensed brokers are a dime a dozen and the reason is: they are mostly worthless.

Buyers who want and / or need seller financing are a dime a dozen.

A huge incentive for me on jobs is that I'll be paid quickly, per the contract, and not nickled and dimed. 

They always took the lion share and would consistently nickel and dime the contractor for their employee mistakes or just to satisfy a unreasonable customer.

I don't have any experience with them.however since they are CA based and did not post a CA BRE license number or CFL or NMLS I suspect they do not lend on 1 to 4 units as those require those above licenses if your in CA.Also I am always a little curious about those that say they lend from 20k to 20 million LOL.. no one can make a dime on a 20k loan... so thats curious.Lastly and this is just a personal pet peeve I just don't care for companies that don't list their principals and a small bio on their web page so you can look into the owners on google and make sure they are upstanding citizens.. again maybe its a marketing thing and maybe I am all wet but thats my preference I want to see who the principals are... they should be proud to put themselves up there ( again my pet peeve LOL)Just don't sent any up front money..

I have had other of my clieints bring in deals that were offered by these dudes and I refused to fund them.. won't do it.. they are not getting a dime from me or  my guys.

You'll probably never see another dime from them.
