I'm not looking glory or glamour, just was trying to illustrate a point.

Fortunately, there are objective criteria you can use to evaluate a location, which is illustrated below.

Still working the issue to have my deductible paid by the car insurance company and I am working with the prosecutors office to provide documentation.I tell this long story to illustrate that with an appropriate team in place you can invest out of your local area.

Additionally, the agent you engage should put together a BPO or CMA of each property, passing it all through you for approval, which illustrates the current market value and relative comps.

To that extent, an illustration of the pain that can come with working with an instrument that is not the same as a mortgage and what can happen if you (or your counsel for that matter) fail to do proper research on and properly execute.

I am not saying this to brag, I am saying this to further illustrate my intent is not to do a "half a** job" as several comments are insinuating, but rather find more efficient ways to do business.  

You were not buying a NOTE you were originating A new mortgage and prom note @Wayne Brooks as Wayne illustrated your confused on what gets recorded and what needs to be notarized.. the prom note needs neither notary or recordation. its the mortgage that needs both.and that fact that its not already of record means you made a new loan.. once the new loan came to light to the Senior lender I am sure there docs preclude any junior encumbrances or mortgages.

It also illustrates why top producering agents like myself and you are selective on who we work with. 

Copy that, the illustration above is more of an annualized return scenario, factoring in fluctuation (and keeping my hopes from getting to high).

Sounds like a good illustration of why not to go with the transaction fee brokers.
