You bet, its done every day in the private and public sectors.

If you would like to do so we can use my private e-mail so you do not have to post your contacts to everyone.

The house is in the beginning stages of forecloser and the owner threw it on the market to try to sell.Look at the property history:Book/Page Sale Date Sale Price 14390/46 8/3/2004 239,900 13709/533 10/24/2003 99,900 3540/0280 10/8/1970 2 16862/0227 8/13/2007 226,950 This tells me it was a rehab at one point.My guess, without doing further investigating was that he couldn't rent it out, and make any money, and now he's forclosing.

Price per sq. ft. is one of the best (in my opinion) and quickest calcualations to determine if a property warrants further investigation.

Can any one help with a lender or interested from a private lender standpoint?

You can alos get a private money loan or worst case senario, a hard money loan (HML).

I'm starting to shift my focus to wholesale and investor flips and I can do those locally once I have some more reliable sources of private money lined up.Ryan, I've heard of your group and hope to attend a meeting soon!

You do it for potential private money too.

Don't I also need a contract in hand for my private investor, so that I can have all financing in place?

This is one of the neat things about commercial there is a big enough pie to make working with private money good for all involved.
