As you can see from that thread, boom, 100% of that source of business is gone and wiped out, unless you as the loan originator want to lie and give horrible advice to homeowners.

Revenue from flips can look like a booming business when the reality is most of that is lost in acquisition... seems like the true “revenue” would be the premium sold over acquisition price.Also holding 600k in debt to have 6k in monthly rev doesn’t look great eitherhow are you all going about valuing your businesses??

Currently in Rhode Island we have seen a boom in our blue collar base due to defense contacts with some of our more larger companies within the state and with the States focus on investing in manufacturing  has helped build a solid base for blue collar. 

If the collector doesn't provide them, I recommend you figure something out to ensure tenants have an easy way to dispose of garbage before it piles up in your back yard.

I am not a licensed servicer/debt collector and would almost certainly mess something up if I attempted on my own the first time.  :-)Lastly, what other questions should I be asking or what other input would the BP crowd offer for this situation?

You can find vacant homes by driving around town, hiring a bird dog, getting a Investor friendly real estate agent, talk to the mail man, tax collectors office, zoning office, you can even try call utility companies.

It's also a good idea to look at what kind of areas are experiencing retail/restaurant booms.

All real economic booms I actually felt, came from a strong emergence of small business with the funding from their local small banks.

one option is try to wire the money from bank to bank, something like this happened to me but I paid everything to escrow and they paid my collector. most of the collecto information addresses and phone number should be on your credit report.
