I have currently begun wholesaling, I have located and established a relationship with who I believe is a great potential buyer and I now want to begin marketing to sellers in areas of interest for my buyer.

@Matthew R Crawford So this post grabbed my attention as i'm a beginner in the real estate game myself.

We are looking into purchasing a MF building ourselves after 8 different syndicate deals, and looking to get our "Core Four" contacts established (Podcast #257 advice from David Greene).  

I probably look at 50 - 100 houses a week, it’s a numbers game.

Others want to have a family, which becomes their highest priority ... etc.If I were in your shoes, I would sit down with the wife and write down the goals with actual numbers and dates and run them by your friend or some other folks here...There are tons of strategies in real estate, some more lucrative than others, but require some level of expertise, which you can only build once you get in the game more seriously.Year 0: Skills: Basic RE Education.

It establishes a relationship in which one, employment, may impact landlord/tenant.

Seller owns property free and clear and you guys sign a purchase agreement for 100KYou put down 10% which is 10K to the seller(skin in the game)Your hard money lender put in 90K, which is the rest of the money due to seller, to get to that 100K owed.Then Escrow closes and your seller has the 100K owed to him and then you pay the lender who put in 90K monthly interest only payments till you resell/refinance the property paying off the 90K owed to him.

Depending on the land and your game plan, you may or may not be able to make money at a 'flip'.

Then it became a "they must have did it, because I certainly didn't flush anything" game.  

@Paul DeSilva:@John Leavelle and @Anthony Gayden (above) are both correct.Unless you have more than 10 residential mortgages, or the properties are above the jumbo mortgage limits or you're trying to finance the the properties with the LLC intact, then they should qualify for conventional residential FNMA loans.For the LLC situation: my strategy is to close the loan under my personal name (no LLC), then after a few months of "seasoning" to establish on-time payment, notify the lender that I plan to drop the property into an LLC strictly for asset protection purposes.Many seasoned pros will tell you that you don't even have to notify the lender that you plan to do so, but will warn that doing so runs the ever-so-slight risk that they may actually call the entire loan due immediately.
