The closesest thing I ever came to, to shooting fish in a barrel!

Well, a friend of mine (very wealthy) participates in funding some loans this bank makes.My current set of questions will revolve around what their lending guidelines are, what types of portfolios/properties/deals they'll lend against, if they have any bad assets/loans on their books they want to dump, and where/how a small fish like me can become a bigger part of the food chain.

Don't expect them to divulge all their best fishing holes though.

Moving things into trusts hides what you all have... the smaller fish you appear, the less the sharks hunt you.

Call me cynical, but I see them prosecuting a bunch of financial lightweights & ignoring the big fish who really did the damage.That said, I was happy to see a $500k IRS Lein filed against the original purchaser of my house - at least he's out of commission for a few years!

Selling so low that a wholesaler could mark up a few grand and a bottom-fishing investor could still get a cash-flowing property.

At first I was gonna fish like 10 banks for loans but then read something about credit being affected.

If you let the inspector go there without you, he or she will have a long conversation with your tenant and go on a fishing expedition.

A big fish story against a backdrop of fishing fleets being in stark contrast to each other seems more like a big fish story opposed to a constant reality.

It can make sense to borrow the HELOC at 4% and lend it at 12% with a couple of points upfront as a hard money lender at times.How about picking up a hobby like fishing?
