There are some red flags.

If you don't mind sharing.  45 lots sold cash to a big player they had a 1031next one sold with 100k downthe last one sold with 100k down.

Red flags?

Locally here in Louisiana I have used Hancock Whitney and Red River Bank. 

I have decided to get more active on here, hoping to find and build relationships/connections/network to help my real estate ventures evolve from more of a sideline approach to more involved player.

There were some red flags involved but I’ve been doing as much of my own due diligence as possible.

.), once you can get an established relationship with a few of these key players and prove you are a ready to act on deals they refer to you, then finding these sort of properties should be a breeze for you!

And if there are multiple addresses within the last 5 years, this could be a red flag.

I think a pickled oak color would do justice for my 4" wide red oak floors. 

It may make sense in the short run, IF you're not in the red too much each month and IF you reasonably expect to see decent appreciation.
