If you are going to sell something would you sell it in the centralized marketplace (MLS) or some stall miles from everyone else with no traffic (FSBO). 

Hello BP Community,I am currently in the process of purchasing my first home (duplex, 1 side is renter occupied) on an FHA loan in Vancouver, Washington.I have paid my earnest moneyI was initially given a closing date...

+1 with Jim Stallings ..I've heard good things about CRI in that area.

But as the saying goes you can bring a horse to water but you can't make them drink. 

This forum section is full of threads with new members posting endorsements.Terry, what was the spiel, what's the deal, what were they selling, what's the angle, what horse are they riding........?

@Josue Vargas I am currently rolling a 401k that I had with a former employer into a SDIRA, once I fund that account I can now invest in real estate, multi family , stocks and bonds, precious metals, lend out the money , and even race horses if I choose and a few other things.

If there's a hole, it may be a red flag.b) sensitivity analysis: I examine all the assumptions, and make sure I can live with the worst case scenarios.c) "Stall and see": if they are getting money over multiple years, and there is no penalty for investing later, I would usually wait so I get some real performance data, versus having to look at theoretical pro forma information.d) Recession stress test: I will not invest in anything, until I subject it to recession level stress and see if I can live with the result.

Um, maybe cart before the horse here. 

Now we are buy property to build a home and mini farm for horses and ???.  

Look for the deal first and then find the money lender, putting the cart before the horse is a taletell sign for investors and they will prey on you in returns of interest and how they structure the deal.
