@Malik Welch Hey buddy, good to see you on biggerpockets. 

If I do call the employer, I find the number on my own instead of relying on whatever the applicant has provided because it could be the cell number for a buddy pretending to be the employer.

I actually have a buddy that is about to move up to NJ for CRNA school at Rutgers College.

I'm actually doing the same thing with a buddy who rolled over an account and I'm using it like more of an equity line whereby I identify properties and his account lends on an individual basis.

Myself and a buddy (we're both located in San Francisco) who is originally from Cleveland are also looking to invest in that market.

@Levi Bennett looks like our buddy @Brandon Turner could use your expertise on short term rentals here in Orlando.

I was inspired to find someone and I asked my buddy and now he's my bank.

Talked a buddy into self directing his Roth IRA to lend me $18k with a 10% interest loan which helped me achieve a decent COC return even after the HOA fees.  

How much have you outsourced buddy?

It's been on my list, but I like to visit when I have friends to show me around and my SA buddies are all living in Australia or the UK.
