I highly doubt Paces team does anything more than sell you his system.. no way they are vetting potential borrowers of small EM deposits  :)  many beginning wholesalers do wholesaling because they have no money or credit or credit is tarnished etc.. this is ultra high risk en devour to be loaning money like this to people you are meeting on line..

You can also check meetup.com or search Facebook for real estate investment groups, clubs, or meetings in your area.

They do not offer every bank or lender out there or the lenders would never get a lead.When I say FDIC what I mean is "Fully Delegated" and not just Full Eagle where FDIC Mortgage banks have better rates (which they do) because  retail it's or wholesale and not selling the loan to meet a branch bucket or Loan officer compensation plan.

Section 8 guarantees part of the rent, which is great for income stability, but the building will have regular inspections to meet Housing Quality Standards (HQS).

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

You can always start with the Simple Start subscription and upgrade if you find that it isn’t meeting your needs.  

I would just start out by meeting with bankers, telling them your goals and mentioning some of the ideas you had(FHA vs conventional) and ask for their advice.

I’ve been to a number of meet ups over the years, but I’ve never been to a no pitch meet up.
