Looking for appreciation come to Columbus, there are still 1% deals, but the more attractive part is the population growth and other economic drivers!

Not to worry as you have the above two options once under contract and are more in the "driver's seat".Once pending and under contract, last thing a seller wants is for the deal to fall apart and they have to go back on market after being off for weeks.

Several reasons not to put all 1000 out on one night; landscaping crew could follow and take them down, city will get VERY irritated (they seem not to get too mad if you put out a hundred every few weeks), and it will take you approximately 20 hours to complete (takes me about 1hr to put out 50 signs).

Account Closed  yup sounds like a pump and dump due diligence outfit.. from what your saying.. any fee up front and a quick approval when they have not really done any due diligence is simply a ploy to get the 995 form you and chances are they don't make many loans at all.. maybe enough to keep from getting in hot water but I suspect their main income driver is the 995.00500k unsecured LOC is a pipe dream for most people.. you would need to have a big balance sheet long track record history of making 500 to 1mil adjusted gross a year that type of thing.. even then VERY tough and the only one's that make those are commercial banks..
