They transact quietly.3) Similar to above, I know of a few people that have been asked directly by their lender if they have interest in taking over a nearby property for just the loan amount.

Then I call a couple more people and get a couple more no answers or not interested and then I get a hold of this lady who right off the bat was very polite very sweet and we hit it off right away.
