@Braden Smith My VA is domestic ..she is actually from Florida (no accent) and I have her set up with ring central so that she has a local area code.She is searching deferent websites looking for for sale by owners that way I guess that is what you would consider off market?  

Most hard money/private money people are willing to lower points once they get a feel for your business and see you're not 'wet behind the ears' so to speak.At least that's what I am told.PM for the infoThanksJoe

I haven't got the phones ringing off the hook yet but I have got a couple call backs.
