I am pretty confident that calling other banks will lead you to better terms.

It doesn't matter what brokerage you work for the boss isn't going to spoon feed you leads.

Ask around, I am sure the folks can help and lead you in the right direction.Alex

What about the houses yo looked at, did it lead to any offers?  

So far, I've sent out truly hand written yellow letters, just launched a postcard campaign using Every Door Direct Mail from the post office, setup two different websites and associated google adwords campaigns, and I also got 1 lead from my car magnet.  

I was informed that this is not possibe, and once date is set that the homeowner now has virtually no power.2) I only wrote down the leads where the upset amount was significantly lower than the estimated market value for the properties.

My question is really not about buying the property but potentially hooking up with a local real estate broker that I refer listing leads to.Would it be a good move for me to call local real estate agencies in my farm area and refer people that want retail to these places maybe for a small finders fee or even just to get on their good graces in case they came across something that fits my investment box?

Apathy among ownership is generally what leads to these situations.I'm in So Cal, and the laws governing Associations are likely somewhat different in Illinois. 

I'm looking for companies to assist with property management and repairs leading up to the turnover.
