as far as End Buyers are concerned, how do I best secure my position with out having this person go right to my buyers directly.The wholesaler states that the bank is not allowing him to provide all the details about the properties until PFO & LOI are received (hence question#2) and with the amount of properties that he has at the moment for me to help him with, and REO's can't be assigned, how do I structure my agreement with buyers to secure my fee?

#3 You could also talk with a few neighbors and get their honest feedback as to positives vs. negatives in living there. #4 I think a local realtor could also effectively weigh in on the value of the property as it relates to the school (ie resale value after flip or down the road).All the best!

Verify all you want.I know your question was a mailing question however I just want to encourage you to find multiple methods of reaching people who will respond positively if you simply find a way to add to their lives.

Large plexes won't give you a positive rating or a negative rating.

If you had made plans prior to today to allow them to move in sooner why not, it does start the relationship off on a positive note.

I so look forward to connecting with others in the real estate community to learn and share.By getting into real estate investments, I know that I will not only make a better and more fulfilling life for myself and my family, but I will also be a role model and possibly have a positive impact on the neighborhoods that I grew up in (war zones-we'll see).Right now I am so excited, maybe too excited, to jump right in.

Since I am using HML they will have a 1st position lien on the property, so can I secure the $30k with just a personal guarantee?

I'm pretty new to landlording and have never held a position as property manager.Joint ventures can be beneficial to both parties if the numbers look right and your cross your legal t's and dot your legal i's.

This duplex has a positive cash flow of $400 per month from the tenants after the overhead (ie water bill, grass cutting, and mortgage).

The lesson is to never ever leave it in an open position when you have downstream shutoffs, and especially when you have downstream shutoffs!
