Oh, and please Steve could you remind me why holding a property for 1 year and a day is beneficial?

It goes like this:Conventional Loan-Cheaper,low interest rates,hard to qualify,requires good credit and decent DTI ratioHML-Very expensive,very high interest rates,high points but easier to qualify than traditional loans and some will roll costs into the loanPrivate Money Loan-More expensive than standard loans but cheaper than a HML,more beneficial but harder to find if you dont have rich friends or relatives,must be SEC compliant if marketing to find private lendersThere are other types of loans such as portfolio,bridge and mezzanine but those 3 are typical loans that investors use or at least try to use.

If you wanted to say start up real estate investment company than yeah a business plan might be beneficial.

They need to be "mutually contingent" in some way.

Other counties will have similar procedures.If you are a landlord in GA and take personal checks being familiar with the deadlines may be beneficial even if you use a PM.

I've read that it's best to offer some kind of mutual benefit when asking for someone's time, but I really don't have anything to offer at this time other than the potential for future collaboration.

In the stock market everyone is generally using the same information, and while there are market inefficiencies that create opportunities, there is little that gives small investors an edge over the big players (hedge funds, mutual funds, and private equity).In real estate, the big players are simply not interested in the $200k investment because it won't even move the needle for their massive funds...it's not worth their time.

I'm hoping that the focus is only on our city, in the Sac group, as it is beneficial to hear about other areas in N.

I stand by my statements C class for the average busy professional that thinks they are buying something akin to a mutual fund is anything but passive.At least 50% of all foreclosures of these same C class houses that continue to go through the buy rehab foreclosure loop are coming from Investors that were sold on passive and turn key and they failed and walked away and that is just a fact..
