Hi @Anestis Kapolas...have you ever considered finding off-market properties and working with sellers to secure creative financing?

@Amy McArthur what "details" do you need that are not public record, and what "prep work" are you referring to?

There are many people that like that because of public transportation and easy access to major highways.  

Whoever is offering the securities needs to verify that you meet the definition of an accredited investor.

I want to build something special for my kids and secure a future for us all so that I will never be where I was 2 years ago.

Thus far I have read a few books, practiced analyzing properties, scoured Zillow, Craigslist & the MLS, spent hours on BP and secured a HELOC.

Try mortgage - it's the pledge of your property as security for the note (loan).

I ask him to bring his references, credit rpt ,license meet in public place   The legit ones are open give you their resume.  

Considering the fact that household debt levels are coming back to 2006-7 levels and retail is in the process of going down the drain, I think we’re going to see a reckoning in R/E and associated securities."

Of course screen everyone It’s amazing how fast they pay up after their kids damage a house above the security deposit including paying me extra for my time and loss of rental income after they move out
