My focus is relationship dependent, but prefer straight loans for flips or partnerships for single family and smaller multi family homes.I would like to learn the ins and outs of the market, and potentially tax liens and auction processes in return for supporting projects financially and physically where I can.Thank you and happy connecting!

Any smart investor should (I would hope) incorporate some contingencies in their offers that allow them an out if major inconsistencies/issues pop up at inspection. 

More than a few are in areas that are a no go for me & my team but that's why it was paramount for us to go and physically see the properties and blocks they are on.

You can physically go to a board meeting to appeal, but you can also send your appeal in the mail. 

However, I feel I am missing out on a lot of other experiences and knowledge I could be getting outside the physical part of the process.

Is it more about my physical presence or my financial priority?

If my brother uses an FHA loan to acquire a four-plex as his "primary residence" and then rents out all of the units instead of physically living in one, would it introduce a significant amount of risk, and if so what kind?

Did I have a problem...as he walked up to me trying to back me physically into a wall.

Of the three-legged stool, which I alluded to in my last comment to your thread, whci you best sum up, as "Newbie looking for Hands-On Work", my experience has so far shown me, in Landlording, that the finances part of these 3, is not so central & critical, as are the other 2 legs of this stool, as in dealing with people, & dealing with the physical aspects of a Rental, as keeping it up to snuff, the way any new Renter would want to find it.
