But they were selling an expensive house in California and had horrible credit.

They use a credit system where they give free skip tracing for 250 numbers+250 emails+250 email sends (which is nothing) then you are paying .08c for 1 number or email or address.

I suggest 8% for a great credit buyer and higher for one with poorer credit.

THere is a loan I have seen folks using in the past... not sure if it is still available but it is the MACU90 loan with mountain american credit union and it is a 10% down investment loan.

As for non-bank loans, I'm familiar with a loan program that provides 100% financing, but it requires a minimum 650 credit score and proof of funds covering 12 months of interest.
