There are some great groups that meet every month here that are a wealth of knowledge. 

Nice to meet San Francisco people, @Gabe Cinquepalmi and @Ariel Vincent, and North Carolina people, @Jonathan Smith and Account Closed, I'll do that. 

I would consider how much time it would take to meet a good partner versus get a check for a wholesale.

I think a majority of business owners are missing that important meeting with a CPA about how they can write such and such off. 

I have attended a few REIA and similar meetings and felt that they were mainly geared towards Single Family Home investing.

Looking at the Fannie Mae website, I found the following requirements:Cash-out refinance transactions must meet the following requirements: The transaction must be used to pay off existing mortgages by obtaining a new first mortgage secured by the same property or be a new mortgage on a property that does not have a mortgage lien against it.Properties listed for sale in the six months preceding the disbursement date of the new mortgage loan are limited to 70% LTV, CLTV, and HCLTV ratios (or less if mandated by the specific product, occupancy, or property type – for example, 65% for manufactured homes).Note: Properties that were listed for sale must have been taken off the market on or before the disbursement date of the new mortgage loan.The property must have been purchased (or acquired) by the borrower at least six months prior to the disbursement date of the new mortgage loan except for the following: There is no waiting period if the lender documents that the borrower acquired the property through an inheritance or was legally awarded the property (divorce, separation, or dissolution of a domestic partnership).

Creating the cleaner's schedule weekly was one of my larger annoyances.

Otherwise, i am setting up a meeting with a mortgage lender ASAP that was recommended to ma by another investor to see if she can finance a deal like this for purchase. 

Send me a PM and well figure out a time to meet up.Talk soon,William Lees Jr

@Kathir Shanmugam @Jim Robertson Have either of you gone to any local REIA meet ups?
