You will find a wealth of information from people that actually make things happen here.You have an ambitious plan.I have had a lot of success with traditional real estate (Rentals, Rehabs and flips) but do not have any experience with creative real estate.I live up the road in Ft Wayne if I can be of any assistance.Chris

If you plan on purchasing and holding/liquidating your notes traditionally then this isn't necessarily crucial.

Or if by chance this is an estate sale, then that's a different path, see below.Second, that person can consult with an investor friendly broker - I know several in the Boston area - if she decides she wants to list traditionally.

I can refi the FHA loans into traditional loans with out having to come up with another down payment because I will be considered an owner occupant.

For the commercial lender, let them know that your plan is to cash them out with a "traditional" refinance in about a year.

By other ways I mean outside of the traditional 25% down mortgages or commercial loans.
