Well my questions is how do I approach owner about my interest in purchasing the property for maybe around $20,000?

Then there was another firm that literally told me he had to have a $5k retainer just to look at the deal.I talked to one of the 5k firm's partner's and asked them how they would help me if I brought them on my team.The low cost attorney seemed busy and inefficient.

Another area I noticed was credit standings, giving leeway from the credit score approach to allow more judgment in credit issues.

So, I am just wondering if anyone out there has brought in any investors to cover that.

And like Account Closed said most people are tire kickers so you have to show them you have your ducks in a row before you approach these people.

however did you approach a local broker and offer them the flat fee to simply list your house?

I have a friend who has brought me deals for years and whenever I'm in a new city I buy her a Starbucks mug from that city because I know she collects them.

@Ben Ha - welcome and I too had a goal of many single family homes to reach a financial got but after I got 4 I realized that it wasn't happening fast enough so I evolved my approach to multi-family.

If your personally worth a few hundred million, then you take a different approach, but I personally have a $5M liability policy, and put homes in my name,,,I'm close to hitting 10, so I will have to go to commercial loans going forward, but not until I get my 10.

Is this approach legal/possible?
