Looking forward to meeting some great like-minded folks who are ready to make things happen! 

It's one of my 5 questions I ask folks to answer on my ad before I e-mail them back.In the past, I've split the time with the applicant.  

I love to help out new folks.

Stay active on this site and network with folks in the markets you're interested in.

We don't prioritize these faux deals over real deals, of course, so it takes two weeks from when my little "I need this and that paperwork" list is fully 100% complete without any omissions.They can still house hunt using standard contingencies during that period, naturally.I generally don't bring it up unless it's requested (typically by the realtor) because people get pissed about the additional paperwork I ask for that includes why this or that credit inquiry 4 months ago happened, etc.A concern, and something I've noticed come up more and more frequently lately, is lenders pretending it only takes 3 days to get through that 123 Main St underwrite and letting folks go in with no loan contingency because they THINK that they are credit/income/asset approved and have been lied to.

When I graduated college at the age of 22 I didn't want to move back to my folks house so the first thing I did was to look for a property that I could buy and move into.

Then, in the next mailing to the same folks you can elaborate a little more. 

I'm sure the good folks here at B.P. would never take advantage to scoop the property, but we can't say that about others.

I've met some folks along the way who are making it work and it can most definitely be a successful venture.
