Just put simply, all cash means no contingencies and in NYC that's the way the game is played.

But even a hard money lender is likely going to require you to have some skin in the game.

P.s I have a couple of good friends that wholesale and I have done some myself so I know title issues are part of the game and a good title company is a blessing and earn their pay on fixing title problems.Thank 

Does anyone have any tips, techniques or experiences they would like to share on how a new real estate investor that is trying to get in the game should go about obtaining and mentor and establishing a team
