Not saying they all fall within this category, but many do so I don't necessarily agree there will be direct competition shutting them out of the business. 

Many of my clients begin there, then transition to direct bookings once they’re comfortable.

Many are run by fake gurus who are just repackaging stuff they found on BP and repackaged as a get rich scheme that they sell by showing pictures/videos of people partying on a beach and things like that. 

I would push for very low or no money down but having a Realtor that needs to have their fee paid it may still not work.Look up the owner if possible through truepeoplesearch.com and call them up directly.

Hey @Chi Lo - I actually have a video on my YouTube page about this (lookup ClosedByMo on YouTube).Regarding walls being damp and waterproofed, it means there needs to be waterproofing on the basement retainer walls (this is something you can do post-construction and the contractors would need to dig around the house exposing the basement/foundation to apply the waterproofing). 

We are direct lenders, meaning we lend our own money, for flips within approximately 1½ hours of our home.We walk through every property to avoid surprises and to confirm the rehab estimate.
