I believe only a relatively small amount of people attempt liens and notes in the first place.By volume, the most dangerous are OOS BRRRR and OOS flips, especially in cheap and very cheap neighborhoods - well below the median price.

Wegg,I believe this thread was started by you & correct me if I am wrong, but your situation doesn't seem to be about building 2 homes, it's about issues with funding the new construction project, right? 

These are people that you believe would give you a good reference when they come across someone looking to buy or sell.Contact each of these people at least once a month.

I believe they only focus on work in Indiana.

I believe they work in all 50 states I would definitly reach out!

If there is an opportunity out there that you believe will provide you with better returns than what the stock market then yes buy real estate.

I guess my problem with being too up front about seeing their place is that I don't feel like I'm in a position of power right now to decline people since it's hard enough to find people that I want to even get to that point in the application process in the first place, but I have to snap out of that mindset and have to instead come from a place where I make them believe that I have a lot of other applicants and that it's my standard policy and it's something they'll have to go through if they want my place.....ESPECIALLY if I decide to only take 1st & security from them rather than 1st/last/security.Thanks again!

Find a market you really believe in.

I believe my mother found it on Zillow.

There are also a lot of attorneys in FL working pro bono to go after lenders as I believe there is something in the statute that not only can they recoup fees but they can also get consequential damages.
