Many houses with obvious distress are not going to qualify for conventional financing.

For example in Texas a finder is limited to a maximum fee of 10% of the net amount received by the beneficiary, thereby eliminating from profitability a significant percentage of deals.This is the same over hyped, over promoted, over promised, under performing opportunity as note broker, house wholesaler, etc.

I have experience flipping houses, and working with investors on residential and commercial projects.

You should be transparent will sellers because doing otherwise could be illegal (if you have insane person sign a contract to sell a house for $1, or mislead and lie to seller about their property value in order get a contract you could be liable for fraud.

Hello, i am on the same mission, we can both run a buildium.com account and list our houses there. 

I am trying to decide if i want to move forward with this house?

If I buy a new property as a primary residence and move into that new house, will I still have to pay a down payment for an investment property if I plan to rent out the house I currently have after I move into the new house?
