I think contact a mortgage broker makes a lot of sense for us right now, and regular banks as well.

Do I buy his contact and then assign it?

According to MLS data, the multi-family market in Providence and Rhode Island cratered as it did in most of the country between 2007 to 2010, going from a peak of around $280,000 per residence to $100,000.

I can pass along a contact I have for coaching about lease options, if you want.

If for you this question is still relevant, write to me and I will give you contacts of my friends and she will tell you everything.

If they are there is a contact there, however you should have another signed form that you will be faxing and notarizing etc before they even say HI.

I'm used to having home inspector come in before signing contract so that I can continue to negotiate the terms of the contact.

This creates another problem- I'll loose contact with the potential investor. 

If you don't mind me asking, what kind of entity or contacts are you setting up for these partnerships?  

I made contact with both the metro district and their collection agency within days of making the purchase.
