But of course he was a known buyer that carried a lot of weight..

The agent should be able to take some weight off your shoulders.I would love to talk with you and see how I can help you succeed with your deals!

A good tax adviser is worth their weight in gold so I am very flexible on location (whether it be in NY or NJ). 

I like the multi-family model more and in the long run would like to be more heavily-weighted toward multi.

There is no valid reason to file a note and a certified copy carries no weight other than evidence that it was made and that is recited in the secuirty agreement and is evidence of the debt created.If any note is lost or destroyed, the holder simply makes an affidavit of lost note and delivers that along with any release required which is filed for record.

You can't really process your own note to obtain the highest value, you have a vested interest in the note, that's like a runner showing his stop watch to prove he ran a 100 yd dash in 9 seconds, a note buyer or the bank can't really trust that documentation.Not saying you can't document the loan, but it won't carry much weight unless the matter is re-verified again through due diligence.

I don't put a lot of weight in what a real estate agent or current owner says the property *could do* when it comes to cash-flow.
