I have found numerous Lands Available.properties post tax deed auction that are on county lists for purchase over the counter at tax deeds offices, listed  by supposed wholesalers who  are marketing them  as their own.

Banks such as Howard Bank, First National, 1st Mariner, etc are examples of small local/regional banks you can only find in this geographic area.

No matter how rich money wise they are that clock keeps ticking away.There are lot's of people with TEAMS out there and they grow GCI that way.Find a niche that is overlooked at exploit it.For me I am a principal commercial broker focused on retail transactions with clients nationally.

There are some National Lenders (even some local ones) that you may be able to find with better terms.  

Has anyone out there in BP nation ever attended a Think Realty event? 

However, being in Los Angeles I have read numerous times that due to the RE climate here that it can be very difficult.  

Perhaps one of the large national brokers have a tool??

I would be leery of any private company requesting my funds go through them instead of a legitimate and national title company. https://businesssearch.sos.ca.gov/CBS/SearchResult...

if its a small community bank with say 200 to 300 million.. and you have 500 to 1 million in cash in the bank then yes.if its a big bank or regional multi billion dollar bank and you have 100k with them.. then no.A community bank on a non owner occ if they want to set up a facility for you would do 5 year amortized over 20 70 to 75% LTV on THEIR appraisal. fee is usually 1 point and 5.5 to 6.5%  that's what I get on my turn and burn stuff and my construction loans .. if your looking to match the lowest rates you see from national banks which is just a tad under 5% these days and 30 year am..  

We have a vast portfolio, proven national track record since 2004, and are easy to work with.
