In that order...Therefore, pricing out the exit is imperative for me on any hold time-frame as a matter of funding a deal. no exit = no IRR underwriting, which my guys want and are too sophisticated to invest without.Now - obviously you can't base the exit on today's NOI nor Cap Rate.

They may go about 10% below the value, but at this point the mortgage companies are pretty sophisticated in their short sale practices. 

I suggest you learn the business first (which a license will NOT prepare you to do) before tackling more sophisticated principals.I will be selling one of my probate properties, which happens to be in RC, in several months however my agent gas been selected as he is an expert in selling properties requiring court confirmation.The best ROI you'll ever get is from continuing your education. 

You must either be accredited or sophisticated to be able to invest with them.

The reason being that 5+ units require commercial financing and thus the competition level is lower and buyers are more sophisticated in that space.

By the time they are becoming sophisticated and have "been there, done that" they don't have time to come to the meetings anymore.

I'd say to contact the inspector(s) you've got good relationships with and not knowing the whole situation this is one you'd have to decide exactly how to handle it, but maybe its setting up a meeting with one of the supervisors or just talking on the phone, but with the goal of getting the point across that you want to spread the word throughout their office (and admittedly, its a large city with a lot of inspectors, we're not just talking about like 5 people here) but to get the point across that you are in this for the long term, you will be keeping your properties in great shape, etc because like I said before, from the DNS point of view and especially being from out of town (and double that for being from Chicago, which for whatever reason, SOME Milwaukee people think of as being something bad) for all they know, you could be the latest out of town slumlord and you need to smash that perception into a million pieces and that may well be something you'll have to do many times over, but its not that hard to do.

Baiting a borrower" this is where a lender manipulates the conditions or circumstances to cause a borrower a greater loss in failing to perform or gives the borrower the perception of a greater loss.  

There seems to be a perception on bigger pockets that you can get a much better deal if you bypass Turnkey and hire a realtor; I disagree.

The trick is to find someone in that top 20%.And yes, the low barriers to entry (for realtors) don't help, nor do the high emotions and large sums of money involved with a home purchase - it can be a perfect storm.That being said, to put a positive spin on your post...I think it is very important for those of us with real estate licenses to understand your perception, and realize that it is likely to be shared by a large subset of the population.
