I think my best bet would probably be to go after agents with smaller brokers, but I don't want to limit myself to just those individuals if I don't have to.Do any of you have any experience or insight on pursuing this?

@Marshall Ryan  if you're looking for a specific lender you will need to post in the Marketplace.Hard money is your best bet. 

Bet Brian didn't think I'd be up so early!

If I decide to teach a class on buying non performing notes, I bet I would have a full house of new comers everyday, and all would be willing to drop $3000 each to hear me speak about notes and teach them things that they never heard before on how the note business will make them money...Joe Gore

Be sure to let us know what you decide and keep us updated on your progress into REI.

With all the international cash pouring into the market, prices are being pushed up, and in many cases, the local investor is pushed out (we're seeing situations in which international buyers are seemingly ignoring formulas and returns and simply buying to park cash or bet on the rising tide - and multifamily is in high demand).

When we looked at it, we were of course totally relieved to see that this "mold issue" was a tiny bit of mold and we got a great deal after it sat on the market quite a while and I'll bet it was all because of that line about the "mold issue"!

No investor will touch those numbers after a wholesale profit is calculated IMHO.if you are an agent your best bet is to just help them list it and find a buyer willing to pay retail value/fmv for the property.If you give us more info we can better assist you.

A full owner carry would be the best bet.

I'm looking to add another property that I found, but am short a bit of cash to be able to do an all cash deal on it (I do have some time to get it, ~ 30 days).I think my best bet right now is to refinance either my duplex, or SFR that have no liens on them and use that cash, does that seem like the best option to you all?
