I am sure no Realtor nor Investor wants their time to be wasted, and that is why it is good for us to all be clear on exactly the type of work we are trying to perform.

I'm assisting a friend who has a contract to buy a non-performing note on a property in the Tampa area.

I am using this person for my non performing notes and foreclosure services. 

It has not performed very well, I should have just invested in a S&P 500 fund instead, it would have done a lot better. 

Not many people take a 7 figure deal as a casual thing.

A good rehabber will gladly pay for a consistently performing capital provider. 

Because of the lower principal amount, the monthly paymentsmight even be lower than before.After 6 months of performance, the investor can sell thenote as a performing note for way more than 60 cents onthe dollar.

This is where an investor or home buyer in general can benefit greatly from having a home inspection performed by a reputable inspector.

If, acting as an individual making an offer, you don't make a big deal out of it, and don't "announce" it, but rather casually bring it up when you reach a certain "comfort level" with the seller, (ideally while writing or presenting your formal offer), their focus will be on the $$, and your licensee status will not be an issue.
