I invest in notes what the county website has online many times does not match what the owner actually Owes.If you pick up the phone, call the county tax office and say I want to confirm what the outstanding balance is on property located at XYZ, they will give you that information

There are those who will also say that wholesaling is illegal for the same reason however I do not believe that to be true.The distinction I make between the two is whether you have the property under contract (wholesaling) or not (Bird Dogging)  Bird dogging is always illegal.

Fannie is pretty crystal clear about this distinction. 

Also, is there anything i should be looking for or watching out for in finding the right match?

I think any work from home job where you set your own hours will be an awesome match with this lifestyle.

Now the rates are no where near that rate and cannot match it.I was furious, I lost a great opportunity because of their mess up, lost the appraisal free and got my credit score pulled for no reason.

Once you start mailing a lot of properties it would become a logistics nightmare trying to match pictures with addresses.  

Basically I want to acquire financing at favorable terms to minimize both my down-payment and monthly mortgage payment.What kind of financing would best match that situation?  

We do see a lot of them, but if you don't find your end buyer during due diligence and have them match your deposit, you better have the funds to close yourself if it doesn't work out, or your deposit is gone.

At least their letting you know, If it was me I have a copy of the key for the lock on the unit, so I would remove the lock take it to Big Box or Hardware store ask them to re-key the lock and give you 5 new keys.. cost is simple, or use it as a swap lock and put on new lock for now,, If you have matching locks take them both off and in for re-key,, the down side is tenant has to be home while your out doing the locks.I personally don't like the rekey yourself locks, I've done it but timing isn't' always the best to do that.
