I must admit I find it ironic you are concerned with "faux" buyers while operating in just that manner!

@John ErricoWelcome.Union City is great, and you have definitely struck a good iron over there. 

The property has a lien on it and I need some help putting together a deal that would be as iron clad as possible.

If you're taking a carryback on the deal or want to document a note, recording, by an independent third party etc, you can use a company like Iron Oak.

Hopefully we can get everything ironed out and have something posted by the end of the week.

Ironically, I had a conversation last night with a high-touch client that wanted me to bend-over backwards and was unreasonable.

One thing you could think about doing, too, is setting up a Grand Rapids/Iron Range/Twin Ports REI meetup using Bigger Pockets. 

I am currently seeking the following team members to add to my teamAgents who are investor friendly and know what it is that investors need. ( I have had way too much experience with the ones who think they can represent an investor then keeps throwing deals that are $5000 under FMV my way)Contractors: I need licensed and insured contractors who do good work and are able to complete it in a timely manner ( and cost effectively)Wholesalers and Bird Dogs: These are very handy to have in order to keep the deals coming inHandyman: Someone who can be a good resource for all of my little needs and quite frankly my right hand mancash buyers: this is something I would like to have so that when I have too many irons in the fire I can still help others build their business and create some amazing connections.and I am currently seeking good advise to keep me successfulif you fit one of these roles or know of someone who is able to fit one of these rolls I would love to hear from you.

Perhaps if there is a lack of knowledge/ability on deploying additional capital effectively... or maybe a lack of confidence with properly estimating and maintaining enough liquidity to cover the moderate volatility of owning a rental portfolio.But aAt the end of the day though one's equity simply won't grow as fast the more it is dissipated into inefficient investment vehicles, and it could be argued that, ironically, leads to greater inability to cover risk and adverse circumstances than the ultra-conservative REI's tenets end up doing.

The plumbing is likely cast iron drains and galvanized pipe.
