Quote from @Derek Brickley: Hahah most of the time if you ask "are you looking for someone local so that you can go knock on their door when things go wrong" it's a lighthearted way of saying in our technological age location probably isn't as important as the other aspects. 100% and I find that a lot of my clients that "go local" end up coming back to me to fix the deal later when they couldn't deliver on their promises.  

I have done many of these deals.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I am primarily interested in flipping and currently looking for my first ever deal.

I’ve been told by many local banks and credit unions that they will not do the deal.

Is their any LO officer I can get in-touch with that can educate me on how to swing this deal or the route I can take to make it happen. 

Remodeling and repairing during the night and hunting for deals while I was in class.

Would love to stay connected with you and do some deals.

As I've seen when helping clients buy businesses, the SBA usually gives you an easier time for those that bundle the real estate in with the deal
