So, I go with the precut / cut yourself from Home Depot...

If you had to have your haircut, and the barber cutting your hair learnt how from discussion groups and blogs, then perfected it through trial and error, how confident would you be in the results? 

Prior to that, with most servicers, you could have done some basic level of setting up your investor account with the servicer but it takes the AOM to prove your ownership and have them engage on a file level.At the time of funding the Seller should have alerted their servicing company to cut the loan off, in accordance with the contract, and expect a transfer. 

No bank is going to let you be a 6-unit landlord without some capital behind you to fix AC units and cut the grass and absorb a vacancy. 

I havent looked at my 401k (and dont plan to) and I'm sure its value has been cut in half this last month.

But I will say, my wife and I are currently house hacking a duplex, and it is an amazing way to get into investing and to simultaneously cut your living costs!

Over the last two weeks I have had an open dialogue with all of our mortgage lenders.  I've found regardless of bank/lender size all of our lenders have been very open to assisting us in minimizing or deferring paymen...

They would be putting deal analysis in front of their own private investors and they would instantly be your competition.With that said, I would like an investor's point of view on this situation:I am a new REI in the Boston area who can find motivated sellers (NOT 'DEALS') - Does it make sense for me to: 1) Take initial call from the seller, getting as much info as possible2) Put information in front of MY buyers list, and ask them to deduct my fee [ideally 10k to start- (these properties ARV is between 500k and 1.5M)]3) Ask my buyers for THEIR number to put the deal under contract (I can still send the buyers list my own rough numbers just for sh*ts, as I should be practicing anyway)4) Bring the first buyer who is available from my buyers list to the very first consultation (as my partner) with the seller to give them 'our' price5) If the seller is okay with it, my buyer puts it under contract and cuts me a check for my fee upon closing.Is this a situation that investors out there would consider in order to help wholesalers build a better name for themselves?  

You dont want to loose site of this and wind up in a bind when the cost of PM and maint cut your cash flow.

I am also assuming we are responsible for making sure the grass is cut and there isn't any trash on the property.
