:cry: 1 - Build relationship with probate/divorce attorneys, real estate owned departments in several banks, closing attorney, appraiser, a few private lenders and a general contractor.

I understand as a wholesaler that my relationship with the select few investors that will survive the slow times may well become my only customers.

I routinely tell my customers that the absolute best way to get the most out of their house is to fix it up themselves and sell it with a realtor.

I work with investors and funding companies that purchase private mortgage notes.

The great thing I've been learning about RE investing is that you can customize the type of work you do that suits what you enjoy doing.Nice to have you aboard, and I would definately be interested in connecting in the future.Good luck!

I am currently about to get into some private investing, but my ultimate goal is to form an investment firm or business if you will.

Send me a private message.

When a customer comes to get a mortgage loan and they have low scores.

If you see they have tried to fix their customer's problem and did everything in their power to do so then you should be pretty happy with that, there are other companies out there that don't bother trying to solve their customer's problem, and some companies' higher ups can't be reached you always have to talk to a "representative" (a really crappy one at that), but with Real Estate Arena you can actually speak to the founding father, which is Peter.

As far as a complete DD checklist thread, i have not seen any such thing, yet :)For a private residence, i would do some basic things, these will lead to other things for you to investigate.
