Over the course of the ensuing six months, I work through the very challenging short sale process,  massive amounts of paperwork and the engagement of attorneys, banks, negotiators, etc...During this entire time, this incredibly dishonest and deceitful buyer is limping along through the process, making counteroffers at the very last moment, ghosting for long periods of time and generally displaying a total lack of understanding any part of the transaction. 

I was approached with an off market deal that seems favorable, but am concerned with crime/area tenants.

If I develop a sales funnel that works incredibly well at pre-screening and qualifying only sales listing leads, would it make sense to focus on generating these leads (locally first but then maybe regionally) and passing them on to other agents to follow through and close, simply sharing the commission, agreeably, in exchange?

I have started looking around and browsing the resources available, and learning about the industry, generally preparing to make by first investment in 1-2 years when the timing is right.This is all great, but I have questions regarding market research and how people here approach it.

Hello All,New member here and I am looking to invest in turnkey properties based on the comfort of a more hands off approach but I am also trying to understand the logistics of being able to take out a home equity loan or HELOC after closing the deal on the property, whether that be right after or in a couple years.

Craig-I often questions this approach myself.

I’ve made a list of banks to approach but I’m thinking I need to wait until I have a lease signed before asking for a refinance.
