I've read a few books on real estate and something the majority of them had in common was the BP community so I would like to see what it has to offer

I am guessing only you would be signing the 18 month lease and this individual who is there to "help" won't be voluntarily offering their signature as a co-signer?

There have been brokerages offering flat fees and failed.

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!

OKC and Birmingham markets both offer some great opportunities and good entry prices for new investors.

I’d appreciate any feedback from those who can offer advice, but I’m also curious about what specific type of attorney or local resource I should reach out to for guidance.I’ve seen references to the Garn-St.

If in your shoes I think I'd call sellers bluff and put em against the wall of it via how I construct the purchase offer.

Joined your group last week.

Told them to do a drive by and call me back with an offer :)The person who called you probably just spent $15,000 for mentoring and “education”, and is now in panic that his 250 cold calls have not produced anything .  

I know of several DSCR and portfolio lenders who offer different terms based upon your situation.
