I would love to branch out and do more investing in other areas, but starting out, this is where my money has allowed me to invest, plus this is where I grew up.I am looking forward to gaining a lot of information on the site and networking with other investors.PS, if anyone has a property in Los Angeles, Southbay, LAX or Inglewood area that is pet friendly, preferably a house that they would like to rent please let me know.Thank you

This is generally how I have seen it done but it could be at the underwriter's discretion and they are going to take into account the overall strength of the customer.

In order to buy a property from the heirs of an estate using seller or carry back financing, as it may be called, there has to be a way to pass title, preferably insurable, marketable title voluntarily, in order to negotiate a purchase money note for any portion of the equity purchased.

from the country of useless phone customer service representatives.

Go figure, but I prefer to keep my money with the bank who actually gives me the loans.

Banks generally prefer to sell notes to other banks and servicing companies who specialize in delinquent debt.

Make it easy for the investor to make a decision.I personally prefer email over personal or phone as I need to look at the numbers.

If so, you may have a deal.IMHO, though, living next to your tenants is not preferred.

Is there a difference with the results/effects when it comes to sales and/or set appointments from customers?

More than likely, the asset managers at the largest banks in the country were B-School classmates with these guys and therefore have the inside track on all inventory coming online.The small, local investor will gain an advantage by focusing on customer service with homeowners, identifying a need and providing a solution.
