Hi, I'm looking for a mortgage broker or lender in the Berkshires (Adams, Pittsfield, Lee, Lenox, Williamstown) Massachusetts.  

Hi @Janet Lee Welcome to Bigger Pockets!

As @Maxwell Lee mentioned we really tried to avoid charging for the meetups but after many people asked that we have a more formal structure we chose the perfect setting for our group.  

has any one done business or taken a hard money loan with Lee WilliamsAxe Real Estate, LLC2950 S Jamaica Ct Ste 302Denver, Co 80014?

@Sean Lee the Seattle times, Stranger, and all the other local papers are great for that.

The last 2 Lee county auctions (mon& wed) saw a TOTAL of 7 properties sell out of 150-200.

As Lee said I think you will find This Blog beneficial when looking at neighborhoods in Cleveland.Of the three the Garfield one would be the one I would target.

Welcome to BP, @Donovan Lee! 

One wrinkle is that the current tenant is month to month and is paying below market rent by roughly $200-300 a month.The Property;SFR in Lee's Summit, MOOriginal house burned down and was fully rebuilt in 2007Current tenant is month to month and rent is well below marketThe Structure50/50 split with a partnerWill likely need a commercial loan as we are going to be borrowing with an an entityThe PlanPurchase property with a private loan all cash @ 10%Get current tenant out, maybe do some minor cosmetic fixes, paint, landscaping, cleaning, etcRe-rent at market rateRefi out the private loanAssuming a perfect environment where we get the tenant out on day 1, and get the property cleaned up and rented in 1 month, would there be a year seasoning period?
