Hopefully we'll hit the right combination and ride the next wave.

Am I too goody two shoes for the modern real estate world?

Will you fix and flip, rent, or do a combination of both?

Why is it from recent experience lenders get upset when you are reluctant to provide your personal data for them to run credit checks without the courtesy of first answering your questions such as do you offer energy efficient mortgages combined with an interest only payment option or conventional mortgage with another option of green features to insure you are not throwing money to the wind long term down the road.

Surely combined, the people who have read this know more than 2 hard money lenders.Come on folks -- give us a hand and help your local hard money lender out by sharing them with us so we can get them all set up in our list -- there is no cost for lenders to be added; we want this list to be complete with everyone to help the investors out here.

I would look toward this strategy maybe in combination with paying off any consumer debt you may have.

Tips I've gathered so far are a combination of the following: challenge property taxes, shop for cheaper insurance premium, refi loan(s).
