I know we wouldn't include a clause like that if we did offer brokerage services because our Property management agreement has a 30-day notice to terminate at any time for any reason no penalty. 

But the ‘investors’ funding letter in black & white says ‘this offer is considered cash’ & it’s signed by Nick Raimondi of Insula Capital Group, a private lender for Real Estate Investments.

Take pics of all the junk (I mean high class heirlooms, which is what you'll say in the ad) and put it on craigslist asking for offers.

.: Quote from @Stepan Hedz: Phoenix, AZ, offers a young myriad of options for real estate investors, particularly in the distressed sectors.

Basically you find these distressed properties in pre foreclosure, probates, divorces, or just ugly vacant properties. then you calculate the Max allowable offer and if it makes sense you call up the property owner, get it under contract for dirt cheap, then you assign the contract to a cash investor for an assignment fee. this is the general idea obviously it gets more in depth, but its finding deals that you would buy as a fix and flip or brrrr, and instead of actually buying it you sell it to other investors.Ahh I see, thanks for clearing that up.  

One huge benefit of a private/HML loan is the strength of making an offer when competing with cash buyers.

It potentially offers legal protection.

Are they offering competitive rates and terms compared to other lenders in your area?

new houses are getting sold for 600K, old houses switched to multiple offer selling model, just like some places in GTA.

If this were a Real Estate secured note,  a note broker or flipper might offer you up to about 65% of the remaining balance whereas an investor who is building passive income streams week offer up to about 90%.
