I have just over $200K left of owner-financing, but I'd like to obtain a cash-out mortgage/loan of $500K (ideally) to be able to pay off the previous owner and make some repairs, etc. 

It sounds like you will have an issue obtaining financing.

A lot of these folks dont want to share their own distuation out in public, so it may be a bit less "social" imo. but creating content around you buy houses / seller reviews and explainng the process at the very minimum will add a huge credbiliity boost to your website and will warm you a lot of seller leads before you ever speak to them!

Yes, it is possible to obtain a second FHA loan, but only under specific circumstances, as FHA loans are designed primarily for owner-occupied properties.

This is easy to explain and I think it would be helpful for the public to understand that agents are typically independent contractors and not employees, and that their brokerage actually receives the commission, not the agent.

If you are looking to just obtain the 25% redemption rate set by the state for properties that are limited to 6 month redemptions.

Fix-and-flip or builder’s risk insurance should be in place before work begins, and confirm your contractor obtains all necessary permits to avoid delays.

It's public. 

@Shuvrajit Mukherjee - You have to be able to scrape that data from some where pretty easy...a lot of that property specific info is public record.There is a website called chicago cityscape...I am decent friends with the founder....it is sourcing a ton of data that might help. 

Doing anything to burnish the reputation of the sick and rotten syndication industry on a public forum that caters to new, unsophisticated investors is disgusting behavior.
