The system should not have allowed you to utilize the system with a fake email, as we do want users to have verified email addresses -- I will need to look into why you were able to participate at all with the fake (unverified) address.Thanks for clarifying.

Network with enough people, and you'll forge just the right relationships, I promise.

Look out for email correspondence where a lender promises they are fast, entrepreneurial, aggressive on LTV, or low cash tolerant.

Yes I am planning on raising the rents.It is an A location with older buildings.The previous landlord just became burned out and let things go with tenants paying full amounts and not fixing deferred maintenance.Some of the tenants complaints have been repair issues.I told them rent issues and repair issues are completely separate.They are expected to pay rent or will be evicted.Most of the lease are coming due in September.I am not going to give them 1 year long term leases at a reduced rate.So they have to invest in the process.New roofs are going on in the next 1 to 2 weeks along with other improvements.Currently many of the tenants do not have security deposits.They did originally but the old landlord gave them a credit off of back rent owed and they used up most of their deposits so resigned at zero deposit.Some have quoted they want new carpet.I will look into it but want a security deposit from them to do it.So a lot of this is them trying to see what they can get away with which will be nothing.We went out and posted that we are the new owners etc. then a few days later went out again and gave a note and had them sign an acknowledgement form along with the copy of the lease they signed before stating the payment they owed.Slated to go out and pick up payment on the first.When kind of repairs did you promise to make??

The problem with non circumvents is there is often times chains of people and points involved and little value is being brought to the table in an actual transaction.On commercial listings generally what happens is a buyer contacts the listing broker.Later down the line the buyer never tells about the person they have been working with.When it gets close to closing this unknown person tries to junk up the deal.In our first point of contact the buyer has to sign a statement that they are not using any go betweens and any money promised will be between that person and the buyer.In this case the go between would have to try to go after the buyer after closing.It would just be better to assign your interest for a higher amount then add in these points etc.The point are the first thing attacked but instead if you are the buyer they have to pay you to get the deal.

I can promise you it won't work.

Think about it, the purchase and sales contract is between you (the buyer) and the seller; whereas, you the buyer promise to buy and the seller agrees to sell for an agreed upon price , conditioned upon the bank releasing their lien for less than they are owed.

Methinks this conversation belongs in the bulk forum... and no, you do not need a RE License to represent fake investors for transactions that don't exist.

I called and talked to half a dozen people who promised to go out, measure and give me a quote.

I promise I won't try to make it work if the numbers just don't add up.
