I can’t seem to find one company that does both.

Find former owner, buy their rights for very little money (often only $100 to $200) and redeem.

We network, have round table discussions, as well as provide small presentations on various topics. 

You need to find a regular local lender who can tell you what you will need which will be 20-30 percent depending on the rate you are after.But, the easiest way for flippers to become owners is to hold every 4th property you flip and rent it at high rent since it's a full renovation.

I created BrightInvestor and would be happy to chat about how we go beyond just market research but also help you find the properties well - with free owner phone numbers and sales comps.

I wanted to have the same title company for the entire process and was fortunate to find ETS as they would know from the beginning everything about the exchange and the parties involved and were licensed in both states where the sale and purchase transactions occurred.My initial conversations with Dave still left me with questions but only those that I did not know what to ask having not gotten to the different phases of this entire process.
