@Derek Lacy Thank you for the information!

Hi Everyone - I've been reading through this site to try an absorb as much advice, lessons, and financing information as possible, but haven't found any answers for my exact question.I'm interested in finding hard money lenders to finance larger down-payments on multi-family units (loans of 60K or less).

Our lender informed us that in order to qualify for a conventional loan, the property needs to undergo all repairs outlined in our purchase agreement in order for be appraised as 'Average' ( appraiser stipulated that the repairs requested in our contract would satisfy the necessary items to bring the property up to Average Condition).

There is more information at the meetup group here. 

I will speak to prospects in NC by giving you information based on my experience in Charlotte, the largest city in NC by population.  

Aggregating data from public information is typically better to buy or rent from commercial providers unless you want customized data fields, highly targeted leads, compiled lists or response lists (prospects test have responded to others' offers). 

I'd be happy to offer any insight or information I have learned as well as chat about how you're looking/marketing for deals down there.
