I’d be happy to connect and discuss further—feel free to send me a DM if you're interested in setting up a call.

I don't mean to come off as a conspiracy theorist - I'm not saying this is normal; I have no experience with foreclosures, just parlaying the message. 

Those that are actually good, get called upon/mailed/emailed an obscene amount by other investors.

I was early, but I do now think they will pause cuts starting with their next meeting on January 29th (just 9 days after the inauguration).Folks in the press are already calling this month’s rate cut a “hawkish cut,” meaning that Fed Chair Jerome Powell will take time in his press conference tomorrow to downplay the speed at which the Fed will cut rates in 2025.

The problem with that is that now you're no longer tracking what you've paid to actual vendors, so you lose the ability to issue 1099's and know what you've paid who at the end of the year.  

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – and they often select the first PMC they call!

Far more than most real estate acitivies and much quicker think about it.. you sell the same info over and over and get paid instantly you have no roofs to fix no tenants to manage etc etc.. you do have reputation management of course.

So I see NO conflict personally.

Quote from @Michael Challenger: I have no qualms with hard money lending, but I need to learn more about the process and structure to these for typical deals so that I am more comfortable and in a position to reduce my personal risk and risk to investors as much as possible.

My buy box is C+/B- 2000 sq ft or better, no HOA, no Pool, 2.5 bathrooms or better and plenty of parking.
