If you cannot google and find a lender then there is most likely a reason why you cannot find a lender to do the loan.Finding a lender today is like finding a mcdonalds, they are all over the place.

There are about 65,000 investigations into this type of mortgage fraud per year, resulting in about 5,000 convictions with the average prison sentence being 18 months.

So many things wrong with all this.First don't pay for this.

There are many here in my local area and your area is likely to have the same type of meetings.Most of the deals that I fund are by meeting investors in person at these groups and creating strong relationships. 

Good job on this flip!  

Would you recommend this strategy to a new investor like myself?

Quote from @Ryne Sweeney: Velocity This is a last resort lol.

This probably means the 1st year you are on the phone 8 hours a day 5 days a week calling people and trying to convince them to sell.  

But if it's just this one week you might wait and see how it goes for the next week or two.

This one is good.
