Oregon is 10 in the country for fewest defaults and highest credit of borrowers for homes.. wholesaling would be extremely hard without major budget and you defiantly need to be licensed to sell property you don't own.. state will get all over you if U try the tie it up put it on craigs list or have a website or blast e mails.. one complaint and your toast in that regard.. you need to have your financing lined up so you guy then resell.. flipping is alive and well.. but again much much bigger dollars involved than in GA ( at least most parts of GA... its like working the expensive parts of ATL price wise.although you can still flip in the high 200 to mid 300 range but there is virtually nothing at or under 100k to buy .. lots sell for 100k and over.. rural Oregon will have cheaper properties but much harder to sell with lack of buyers.. but one thing is for sure  if you do a nice job on a flip and price it right it will sell in 2 to 4 weeks at full price and you don't have to worry about folks getting loans and such.. this is not a credit challenged area like much of the deep southas for paid trainers there are good ones and there are tons just selling rehash of those that came before them remember there is not very much that's secret or knew in this industry other than tighter regulations and most guru's are not worried to much about tighter regulation as it cuts down on their conversion rates to the mentor programs as noted above.

In some areas subdivision can take 1 year to get all approvals.Even condo documents, must be drawn by an attorney and recorded at the courthouse can cost $5,000 to $10,000 themselves.Before we did out first condo conversion, we had experience in land subdivision and development which aided us in understanding and expediting the process. 

I am now a retail real estate agent (and I privately manage SFRs for owners), the trustee sales are almost over for the mid sized flippers around here ("my" money is buying non-performing loans, better returns on time and money). 

Hi everyone,I have a few questions about raising private money.

EX: Say I have three messages in a conversation with someone.

We used a private lender to buy the other house  because we have bad credit.

She stated that she screwed up, and is terribly sorry, and not sure how this happened or how it was not caught by anyone....but that the loan product (Freddie Mac home possible) that they are using...went through everyone, passed underwriting, and then was selected for quality control and was noted that one of the home possible policies stipulates that: Ownership of other residential property The Borrower must not have an ownership interest in any other residential property as of the Note Date, or the Effective Date of Permanent Financing for Construction Conversion and Renovation Mortgages, except as stated below.

Are you even sure you want to be a hard money lender or would you rather be a private lender? 

The fact that your loan is maturing in 6 months means that you’ll be in default by the time you can actually qualify.You may need to seek some private lending options.

Send me a private message and we can see what the best steps would be for you and your goals.Cheers to our success!
