It has excellent loan terms so we do not want to lose it.

A little bit about myself for anyone interested:I'm looking to be a buy-and-hold investor while continuing my regular job - I am looking to put money to work and would be potentially interested in doing so as part of someone else's deal; I would consider both SFR and MFR deals.I am an investor in my day job (currently private equity / buyouts, soon to become public equities) so may have some bad habits, or at least industry-specific ones, to break; I generally anticipate being relatively analytical / systematic in looking at dealsMy family held a few properties when I was growing up - I have experience personally doing refurbishing work and secondhand experience with property management activities (this will hopefully help me as contextual information, I don't anticipate taking on an active role in refurb or property management in the near future)Right now, I am trying to educate myself on the process of deal sourcing (MLS, wholesaler buyer lists, etc.) and market data sources; in particular, I would really appreciate any input on good sources for publicly available market-level data in manipulable format such as Excel or .csv as well as input from anyone who uses a systematic deal-screening approach both on their criteria and how they get reliable / quality data into a screening-friendly formatThanks for everything people have already contributed. 

I am looking at a property that is in an excellent neighborhood and the upkeep is really well done.

My first CRM was an Excel spreadsheet @Michael Westberry .

Good evening everyone,Our team is in search of an excellent HVAC guy.  

My mom is retired with excellent credit but the banks will not give her the loan even though she has money in her self directed IRA, so we have to turn to a hard money then convert to long term financing, so the interest will be higher.

This is a great community and I am sure you will find excellent contacts for your SC market. 

Excellent advice @Engelo Rumora , thank you.

Excellent site!
