I am sure I can negotiate the price to match property similar to this one, but upon further research I found the property had been under contract and the deal fell through.

Would be nice to have the credit option as plan A and if you're successful on the bid try and negotiate a downpayment.

I have to project manage rehabs, work with tenants, and problem solve when issues come up or how to negotiate with a seller.Is your passive or business income from real estate the same, greater, or lesser than when you were working a job?

I am in negotiations with an Out of State property owner that is trying to get out from under a property.  

About 3 months ago the interest rates were 'low' at 5.75%, but the bank wanted the opportunity to reset the interest rates every 5 years (although if I went forward with the deal I was analyzing at the time I would have tried to negotiate the resets away).  

After months of searching and negotiation we were able to secured 3 townhouses next to each otherFinancingThe way i structure the deal is pretty simple. each of us would put in an email amount of money for the 25% down payment (yes, i put my own money into the deal as well) the the rest i financing it out through a Commercial bank that I has a relationship with.

On the assumption fee and pre-pay penalty fee it's all negotiable.

I have not been responsible for the selling of our currrent properties, but Intend to change that and see what kind of effect offering something like a closing bonus of $10,000 gift card would have on selling properties at higher margin or (at least as negotiating tool).  

Modification, servicing, negotiating with the borrower, etc may require licensure IF the note in question is an owner occupied mortgage note.  

You are suggesting a "blanket loan", I have done a few of these.If you are going to do this, you need to negotiate releases otherwise, when you sell one of those properties, the bank will take all of the potential proceeds.Negotiate terms that state when your loan balance is reduced to a certain amount, the lender release some of your collateral.Failure to do this will lock up your properties until the loan is paid off!
