While I am not on the board, I attend the meetings, so I know that they did try for loans and were turned down.  

I'm a Redfin real estate agent in Northern Virginia (about to move to Nebraska) is looking to build a investment portfolio myself.There are two kinds of ways to hang your license with Redfin - as an associate agent, paid on a 1099 contract basis per-task, such as showing homes, attending inspections, walk-throughs, etc.

I will like to attend one of this auctions.

@Peter Sanchez I have been attending great meetups and learn a lot from them now I just need to take action and start..I was thinking bout holding but  first I want to attempt to flip a couple houses before holding a home.

Attend one or more of the local meetups and you'll see who is doing what. 

I got my salesman's lic (expd) while in college but never really did anything with it.  

Well I strongly suggest searching for possible deals right now, also network with other investors on here, attend a local REIA meeting.  

By all means, attend your yearly inspections and talk to your tenants. 

Mortgage Co said they are trying to speed it along [usually use 45 day lead time] and the worst that could happen is we ask for an extension.My question is this:  I have renters already lined up [my son and 3 college friends - w/parents as guarantors] but I can't draw up a lease without knowing the move in date.  

(Plus, if they pay by check or money order, they may not have sufficient funds, and they can also place a stop payment on their check and money order)I had a tenant who owed money in September and I couldn't get them out until the middle of January because they stalled, postponed, claimed false repairs, holidays came up, couldn't attend the court date that had been scheduled so they ask the court to reschedule and they did, and on and on.
