People are trying to help, and I am certain @Donald Tepper really did not mean to insult.If you are going to be rehabbing and flipping properties you are going to be meeting a lot more insulting and condescending characters- believe me.Take the advice at face value and move on.Put yourself in the money lenders shoes - They are in the business of making as much money as possible with as little risk as possible.

If you have a sewer system, the county may require you to tie into it (change of ownership). 

The 3rd part is if you need to access cash to do a deal and it's tied up due to loan pay offs then you have to borrow your own money at current rates.

I had just seen the most recent huge price drop, and in a really competitive market, I jumped on the opportunity, telling my agent to tie it up, I'll view it later (since I can use the inspection contingency).

But the good news is, you can invest in the same investment that takes money from both sources as long as the investment asset is titled with the correct percentages tied to each source of capital (i.e. 50/50, 60/40, etc).Best,Davep.s.I'm schedule to appear on the NoteMBA podcast this week, so stay tuned!

You need to get those little blue bootie things and make people wear them (or they can take their shoes off).  

Great job I hope to be in your shoes the next few years :) great work and excellent post

@David M.I understand your point, but in that landlord's shoes I would have done the same. 

That type of activity is what gives wholesalers a bad name; leaving seller after seller with empty promises and moreProblems than solutions.having dealt with the ORegon regulators if someone made a habit of this and they had a complaint filed with the AG or DRE  there would be some major problems.. this market is so tight and competitive though there is no way any one bird dog is going to do much of anything any way unless they just tie up homes that have little to no equity in them and they never close anyway..

At this point it would seem like a waste of money to pay a servicer the full collection fee when we know it is tied up in the court system.
