I have had several cases where I finally got cops or government officials to only do their job after being very loud to the newspapers, but it does work.  

I can likely do this loan, but in all fairness, with this type of loan I suspect a community bank is going to beat me out.

The seller was willing to take a secondary position on other property assets and provide a 3yr 4% interest on his loan.

Just because the deal may not fit our criteria, there are many other syndicators that will.I finally decided to make that data available to other sponsors that easily makes up for the time/effort that goes into it.

And they'll want you to pay off the loan pretty soon (and usually will you as the rate will probably be higher than banks) so there's that too.For this reason, we definitely prefer private lenders as they will (if you've built trust with them) often lend on the rehab too.

Those loans take  about 45 days to put together.  

If you are looking to buy in PA, its possible you can qualify for PHA KFIT program that gives you a 5% closing cost forgivable loan.

The rent-to-price ratios in many neighborhoods are strong, and the city’s population is finally growing again after decades of decline.One thing that stands out to me is Detroit’s median home price—around $95k—which is far below comparable cities of its size in terms of population.

One can create his or her own Venture Plan / PPM then take it to a good Securities Attorney to have final touches performed by a licensed professional.
