I'd take advantage of those remaining fannie slots as much as I can before pushing portfolio lenders, unless you get great terms.

I just know there will be a mostly consistent 9 hour time slot where I may not be available on. 

you pay for it and don't use their national firm.. that is outsourced to IndiaI buy about 3 to 5 properties sometimes more from Auction .com come each and every  month in multiple markets.you just have to take the bull by the horns with them.I am VIP so my experience is not going to be the same as a one off buyer..

I'm not working with them, but if you want to pay off your mortgages quickly, that's their focus:http://freecashflowed.com/vip/

Left a signed offer with a hand written note in the mail slot in his door last Thursday.

The property needs s lot of TLC.

I have found a number of wholesaling companies online through Google searches that boast great deals for investors and all of them require you to sign up for their "VIP Buyers List."

Start a Corp, deed 2-3 props over to it thereby opening up another 2-3 "slots" for conventional mortgages2.

We need FICO scores of 720, and 25% down on loan slots 7-10. 

If you want a pre-market sneak peek, you may be able to get on some brokers VIP list .. but at the end of the day it won't really give you much of an edge.
