We know a few companies that will entertain them.

The show dumbs down the profit for people who watch it for entertainment.

It's a no-win for the agent and appears to be a total waste of the agent's time and resources to entertain you.Come back with a proof of funds, and I promise any decent agent will start paying real attention to you.I say it again, because it is worth repeating - looking at property... even THINKING about property without a proof of funds is a waste of your time and everyone else's time.

I am entertaining the idea of either buying the note or the property via a discounted price.

I also would entertain learning more about the Charlotte market.
