I'm a music producer/engineer/songwriter (a successful one, thankfully :mrgreen:) , getting into REI as a source of supplemental income, although the more I learn about it, the more time I'm interested in investing in it, so who knows, maybe one day the percentages will be reversed...

I don't have any conventional wholesale sources.

With the retail real estate market difficult in most areas, landlords can be a good source of buyers.Good Luck,Mike

These decisions also affect the speed of wealth creation and tax efficiency.That's three of the four or 75% of the sources of profit!

Certainly it would be logical to assume that limiting the sources of loans would result in high priced loans (fees and/or rates).

I put an offer on a property and now shopping for a good source to finance the deal.

Yes, they can get comps, etc. but you can get pre-foreclosure information from other sources in your area.

The most common sources of distressed properties are motivated sellers or lenders (banks).The property you describe does not fit this criteria.

In fact, one of my primary sources of deals is from failed landlords who become DESPERATE to sell.He talks about getting $100 month cashflow off his property with 30 % equity (at least at the time of purchase).

After reading and hearing multiple sources regarding how much longer this soft market will continue -many think well into 08 and early 09 I'm considering renting.
