its just so rampant that the states can't keep up. and some states take a completely blind eye to it. if you read the REGS on what is required to bring two parties together on property you don't actually own in a scheme or business model you will see that the definition needs  a license..

Just like beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, appraisal is in the eyes of the beerholder.Cheers...

That was an eye opener for me!

Do you have your eye on a property?

Usually hard money is helpful set of eyes in telling you if your deal is in fact a deal....Good luck and don't give up it will come together.

I've been doing a lot of research in the San Bernardino area so if you need any help getting your business going let us know what it is your interested in so we all can keep an eye out! 

A second or third set of eyes is always good.  

I went into to it eyes wide open knowing it was a risky deal.  

Sorry, I'm way too big of a noob to offer any advice, but your post caught my eye. 

(In my eyes a PM should do everything to manage that property and not put any of the stress on the owner)
