If you wouldn't mind, I had a question on one of your post:Greg - In some markets this is impossible...the banks are refusing to allow the REO listing agents to provide "pocket deals" (deals that never hit the MLS) to their clients or investors.Originally posted by Will Barnard:Not in my market and how can a bank know or prevent a broker from telling me about a property located on 123 xyz st that is currently occupied but will have the eviction process happen soon?

just read your whole journey, start to finish, and im anxious to hear the latest. you've truly inspired me. taking my first (baby) steps at the end of the week by meeting up with an investor and learning the Probate system. wish you continued luck, and look forward to hearing about your first closed deal. rooting for youRuben

Usury law's prevent a return higher than 10% in CA for a private lender, but they require a rate higher than that.Would we have to run the SDIRA loan through a licensed broker to offer a rate over 10%?

I think Kentucky will win, but I will be rooting for Kansas.
