It is not surprising to me given the scope your business has that you seem to do you uncover these hopefully unusual types of situations. 

I'd be surprised if they actually respond to your inquiry. 

Been kinda cruising the internet for someone I can rep for and haven't found anybody that's been very responsive, which actually surprises me some.Just looking to get paid on closed loans if I connect borrower and lender (and screen the deal, of course), anybody know of anybody out there (that I could feel good representing) that'd do that sort of thing?

I have been surprised three ways:How little I knew about notes and how extensive the subject is.How little good (& accurate information) there was out there.How much more complicated & subtle a business model than other REINow to answer some of your questions.
