Hi @Tony Castronovo, can you please PM with your experience thus far with the local bank?

Please let me know if you have experience.

I’m looking at a foreclosure auction on servicelinkauction.com and wanted to know if anyone had experience dealing with this company?

And in my experience Anderson Advisors is so not the place to go for asset protection.  

I am not going to "partner" with someone that wants to be involved in every decision, particularly when the owner has very little experience compared to me.

Not so easyDisagreements happen - gotta be clear on who does whatActive participation required - not ideal for your hands-off friendsSyndicationProsLimited liability for your friends - they only risk what they investEasier to raise money from a bigger pool of investors - more cash for bigger deals!

How would you approach this type of project if you have the ability to purchase but limited experience on actual development?

From personal experience, MLS deals are much less lucrative given their higher price points (typically).With respect to financing, you can talk to any of the hard money lenders on this site for different financing programs they offer (some are tighter with someone who has not yet executed a flip), you can take equity out on existing properties you have, you can use private loan from a friend or relative.
