@Francis AI have never used Costco before but did have great success with Zillow.http://www.zillow.com/mortgage-rates/Beware you will likely have to submit most of your docs online and may never meet the lender, but you will get a very attractive rate and program, so if a do it yourself isn't for you, then find someone local.Hope this helps!

The max $50,000, when leveraged correctly, provides you about a Half Million purchasing power or so. 

This community renews some of my faith in the power of the internet and social media!  

For anyone else interested in this, I would be asking the questions about the water and septic and power.  

I've seen some powerful numbers that talk about the value of organic leads and being ranked in the top 4... after the top 4 might as well be page 2... after page 2, it does not matter your rank.I've tried some direct mail to get people to go to my site, but 100% so far have called my phone number and not gone to the website as far as my tracking has shown.That leaves me one option... pay per click.  

Knowledge is NOT power.

There will always be those that don’t but they likely would have found other paths to the same place by relying on something else.For me personally I am a newbie but practically live in excel doing analytics as a banker so I have not really used the calculators but I have seen similar ones sent to me or PDFs and I too see how it can be overwhelming and find it easier to find a very simple analysis in excel that I really have to think about but to each his own.  

Networking is very powerful and will greatly accelerate your learning curve. 

We are waiting on one power of attorney form so the title will transfer. 

You just need to spell everything out in advance.The problem I see, is the dollar amount you are talking about will severely limit you in both buying power and length of time to go from deal to next deal.I would suggest that if you are looking to invest, and already contemplating a partnership, instead of going in on a new deal, go in on an existing one.
