CREDIT - You need this! 

But without the experience, knowledge and capital (actually CREDIT CAPACITY) I accumulated the prior 2 + years, this transaction would not have been possible.

Compared to other services that might offer lower-quality leads or require higher upfront costs/paywalls, Prime Tracers also give you free lead credits on sign up so you can actually see the results before you commit to a purchase.

Bank Credit Line How did you add value to the deal?

If you do decide to do mailer(s), then I would advise you to personalize the card and do a handwritten note. 

I've found this to be super helpful: When someone inquires about the property Thank them and Send them the pre-requirements (Income, credit, no evictions) and ask if they meet them.

However, aside from that, I couldn’t find much information about them, and the only online presence seems to be the wife’s LinkedIn profile (though I’ve never met her in person and am just going off her profile picture on Zillow).After submitting the application through Zillow, we attached our income (two months of pay stubs for each of us from our current jobs), work references, credit and criminal background, rental history, and the contact info for our current landlord (who just so happens to be my fiancé’s father).

Basically its a big credit card that I can now use for any business related purpose, in my case Ill use it to do more deals.So here is where the 8 unit comes into play.

Other than paying for an appraisal or BPO (and maybe a credit report), you should not pay a lender anything until your loan funds.

Check credit, income, and rental history.
