Keep in mind, not all Brokerages have the need to do REO sales, but I can put you in touch with some contacts I have here in Monmouth County if you're interested (not your ideal location, but might be worth the connection). 

He was very knowledgeable, has been in the industry since the 70s, and also has contacts who can help with design plans which you'll likely need for the rehab.

I am refocusing on potentially investing in the Memphis area (where I reside) and would love to talk to other potential/current local and OOS investors.Any helpful contacts that you might have would be greatly appreciated!

I’ve been contacted by many on and off BP about the particulars regarding this type of financing and who can obtain it.

If you need their contact info, please feel free to reach out. 

I'm from howard county but I have a lot of contacts in Annapolis/Anne Arundel.

I invest Out Of State so I don’t have many contacts in Tri State area I do have a great CPA that lives in NYC when you’re ready.

The only way the listing agent gets a lead is if the shopper clicks on the listing agent and contacts them directly.
