@Justin Thorpe and the national debt number is $27T today but in 08 it was $10T; are the players really more discipline?

I think you will find the most experienced TK players will not operate in hoods like this for many practical reasons. 

@Suzanne Player I have talked to a mortgage broker who specifically works with investors, he told me to hold off until we can claim the money we make from our business.I own an Interior/Architectural Design company with my wife which we do well with, but we've only claim 1 year of income from it. 

A couple of ways to find these guys: * RE Agents - If they are a seasoned agent they usually know a few players in the area * Mortgage Brokers - Same * Hard money lenders - Same * Local REIA * BP - look at member's profile pagesI hope that helps!

Most players in the industry have spent their entire careers dedicated to hotels/hospitality.  

But he was a Hoarder and a player. 

She is a wonderful agent in Memphis that works with investors and Evernest is a major player in property management in Memphis! 

In the survival of the fittest only big players could survive.

In my experience I almost got scammed by a big player, oftened recommended on these forums.  

Once they are fully foreclosed on they become Real Estate Owned ( REO )There are plenty of topics and threads on here to get you to Compilers...but they can be tough to break into unless you can get an intro.Do all you can to stay away from chains more than 2 deep, ie Owner/Buyer and 2 brokers/agents... and even then get one or two of the brokers out of the way by all signing a NDNC agreement and Fee agreement that protects everyone and then put the two real players together.
