The way I see it, I have two options to try and force this stubborn 2nd mortgagee to cancel or at least discount the debt to 10% or less:1) Hire a flat-fee attorney experienced in negotiating settlements on 2nds, especially one experienced in negotiating short sales. 2) Put the 2nd mortgagee through a short sale by having the seller short sell the property to me.

If I can ask, why are you looking at small condo units when you can buy a 3-4 flat with an FHA loan owner occupied?

Almost all of them had never heard of it and after explaining what wholesaling was, some referred it to "concurrent closings" and mentioned they don't do it and others flat out said they don't do it because it looks bad on their system if they ever get audited.My question is: Do I move on to a neighbouring city where I can find an investor-friendly title company?

Many routine legal services are charged on a flat base fee basis (eg.

It costs more than a service that just puts your house in the MLS(flat-fee), but it should come with at least minimal guidance.If you are going to go FSBO one option is to check out the competition(both MLS and FSBO) and see what they are doing.

None of the local flat fee realtors/brokers will do the agreement with me because we are not the owners on the deed.  

Some people just send a text, or just flat out chock it up to they just weren't that interested.

I was looking for my first investment property to be a two flat and I was considering to go the FHA route for that.

Here in Texas we have a bunch of online brokers who will charge you a flat monthly fee (usually somewhere in the $90) range, and then they'll either charge a split or a flat transaction fee ($200-$300) whenever you buy or sell a home.

What would you all recommend to be a good route to go for our first deal, Wholesale a property, go through private investor/lenders for potential flip of a property, or going through the bank getting a FHA loan and renting out a home or two flat?
