My long term goal for real estate is to get into business with the most luxurious real estate such as multi million dollar homes, 5 star hotels, casinos, resorts etc. 

So how do I figure out which ones will have a higher probability of going to a 3rd party bidder so as not to waste a bunch of time?

However recently, I have sold a couple of deals to buy and hold investors that have worked out well for both parties.

The name does not sound like they would be a neutral party like an escrow holder needs to be.

If the realtor only works for the other party then it is their job to get their client the most money out of their property.

I wasn't sure on some of the numbers since we're not technically buying this property, that part is already done.

Freddie/Fannie issues come up as well, primarily when PMI is involved, so you need to stay up to date on PMI guidelines if doing short term flips, many of them have NO WAY in 90 days rule, and 90-180 days a 2 Appraisal rule, and it doesnt stop at the PMI company, some Lenders have their own internal set of guidelines on this, so one bank may be able to do it and another cant using the same secondary financing, the funny part is most loan officers have no clue what you are talking about when you try to cove this on the front end.

For some, the benefits of conduit loans are offset by complex loan documents, high closing costs, market-based pricing that is subject to change prior to loan closing due to adverse market conditions, and loan servicing that is oftentimes handled by a party other than the originating lender.CMBS activity has picked up since its reemergence in 2012, but CMBS lenders have recently found multifamily loans to be difficult to win due to other available lending alternatives.

Learn why they are selling and what the seller NEEDS, to create a WIN-WIN Situation for all parties.

Works great for me - most important part is if you do go this route, it will require a big time commitment to get everything set up (I'd assume it would with any software you choose to use) however once you get through the set up and familiarize yourself with it, your life will get a lot easier.
