Looking to hook up with investors, preferably a local partner where we can take this area by storm.

Once you've found a lender that will do that, you could start an account with them, so that you've been a customer for a few years when it comes time to ask for a loan.Best of luck!

Does your lender have such a customer service guarantee?

It is nice to talk to someone in the U.S. and to deal with a company whose purpose is to service the customer, instead of trying to lead a homeowner into foreclosure.

Type of Financing - I prefer seller & private, nothing beats it4.

You really can't mess it up.Granite is also custom fit, so it becomes a fixture.

of course, the atm will accept cash or checks, and they can used the counter, too, if they prefer.

yes, that sounds about right, but in the $100k ARV range I'm finding it tough to find 80% deals.I try to stay in within 10 miles of my house, I avoid any neighborhoods that have a lot of rentals (which is sort of funny), etc.I'm having to look outside of my preferred neighborhoods/school areas (not school districts, but say in Mesquite, there are certain schools that renters prefer, so I really prefer to buy in the areas that qualify for those schools.Erik Drentlaw yes, that's the idea anyway, I haven't actually gotten myself to "pull the trigger" on any of those deals,,I try to follow my business model closely, and this is something that doesn't "fit"

I personally prefer NH because of the landlord laws, but if you manage property as a job, you already know exactly what you're getting into.

I prefer to invest out of state rather than in this area.
