Leah, I would give lender 1 the option to beat/match your deal.

An agent with market knowledge and deal flow that could present us with off and on market properties that match our strategy will be needed.

Hi @Justin Pumpr,You’ve been through a lot brother, and it’s clear you’ve gained valuable experience, even if the results haven’t matched your expectations.

Also, make sure the property's condition matches what you're willing to take on, or that the numbers work for you.4. 

Once again, this matches my personal experience that the larger, more expensive properties continue to sell better than smaller properties.

My occupancy rate is probably as good as anyone, and one thing I do is never have a high debt load then turn that around and award my tenants with rental rates they can't match elsewhere. 

When an appraiser is adjusting a comp to match the subject property, he or she will use an adjustment based on the difference in square footage.

Your definition of "cash flow" does not match what experienced investors teach or look for. 

One tip I have for you when it comes to finding an agent or lender go to the top of this page under BUILD YOUR INVESTING TEAM and click on AGENTS & LENDERSFrom there you will be asked a series of questions and then you'll be matched with 3-5 agents/lenders.
