Derek, I didn't consider that this transaction falls into the commercial property management arena.  

All money should go through escrow - even deposits if they are not being held by a licensed broker that represents one of the parties to the transaction.

The question was who is reputable, not who can give me some under the radar advertising or blatant solicitations to sell me notes in the forums.And the first question should be what brokerage is well capitalized to repurchase a note under the expressed and implied warranties made in the transaction.

How many transactions have you closed, with investors?

I've been able to get a place in hammond and one in gary (on the merrillville border) for about the price range your looking in. 

Shame on you for telling your buyers "Isn't that wallpaper border in the den to die for?".  

I wanted to ratchet things up a bit and earn some money using tax liens.I have the benefit of living on the border of NE/IA, hooray two sales!

@Atwan Kwan Ive worked with multiple realtors and they always have not acted as an agent in the transaction.

Going through all of this, I had to get an extension from HUD (no small feat) and  I thought I could use transactional funding to do an A-B, B-C (HUD to me: me to my LLC) and set it up using a proof of funds letter from iflip, and a letter from COGO (lender)I thought I had done a pretty good job of resolving everyone's concerns.  

The person who did "nothing" to the property actually put in gobs of hours adding value to the transaction.
