Lets run the tape back. 

They are far past their practical lifespan and are being healt together with duct tape and a prayer.

My contacts at several lenders (upper management) also confirm their strategy is to release inventory through bulk tapes to prequalified institutional investors.

I’ve been on 3 so far and will tape another on August 10th 😃

To sum up a little bit, my current business plan is to get started in this business with wholesaling properties to build capital and relationships that I can utilize in the future to help transition me into rehabbing as well as buy and hold strategies with real estate to create multiple streams of residual income that can hopefully replace the steady paycheck of a 9 to 5 job, speaking of which, I am currently working as a purchasing/ sales associate for a company in the asphalt industry, so I am not new to the buying and selling of products, a skill which I believe will be a boon for me in this industry of real estate investing.

., but I wanted to see if there was any feedback on here as well.The old business, property, and new business:Formerly an auto frame/body shop, 7,800 sq/ft, 17 bay/door openings, office with bathroom, locker room, storage above office, and lot is on 3/4 of an acre, paved asphalt. 

It's a standard asphalt shingle roof on a 1.5 story SFR.  

Also, if a deal is secured where the bank gets their amount outstanding due, is there a lot of red tape that would create a slow closing or put the deal at risk?

I can see it now, you're playing some Tony Robbins tapes while walking door to door.

If asphalt have some metal plates about 12 x 12 and place under each foot., c.
