Makes me wonder why more of them aren't making proper efforts to educate themselves on value and instead think that a house selling for say $250K is a great deal because it is much cheaper than houses where they are from.

Many of us, including myself, have faced losses with crumbling deals.

I started out with a smaller deal to reduce the overall risk just in case since I still wasn't 100% trusting.

After rehab, I plan to refi and get all the $ out, pay everybody back (with some ROI), and hopefully have something left for me to do another deal. 

My realtor is worth his weight in gold and works very hard when I have a deal going with him.

I don't personally deal with this issue with my postings, but I usually use a website called roomies.com and that is for people who are only looking for rooms, so I don't tend to get too much push back on that.

Thanks for the response but I'm not looking for a meetup or a networking get together, I am looking at a potential subto deal with an FHA loan and need a referral for a title company or otherwise who can service the transaction.

Just wanna get some info or insights to whomever has had the experience of dealing with these lenders? 

CashGeeks is a good option for off market deals.

I see this has struck a chord with you.Let me just state that I have never invested in San Diego and I get pissed myself whenever I hear someone calling my local market one of the worst markets in the country.This is in the new investor forum and the original question was what's holding you back.
