does this other realtor care about taking my income away from me as a Mortgage Broker?

I would put the neighborhood or nearest major cross street if that's more precise/useful.I would be careful sending out a flyer to buyers, that you don't advertise as if you own the property.

Be careful about the markets you get into there as not all of them are good, but many are.

Heck maybe other bidders aren't making any money on the properties they are buying.Regardless, be careful about chasing deals, stick to your numbers.

Now gotta be careful how it's written on the sales contract as can't be part of the value of the property, but rather listed as Chattel (Personal items to be left with the property)Think outside the box!  

I would just chalk this up as a lesson learned and make sure you get it taken care of.

I served 21 years and wish I knew then what I know now.I think it's an excellent opportunity but I would also say you should be careful about what type of property you buy.

My question is  should I go for  a traditional bank loan,  this new concept of hard money?

Take care.

As long as all the bills are taken care of you can definitely do a cash out, just kinda depends how big do you want to go and do you want multiple properties or one big one.Whatever you do when you get into a bigger property reach out to me on the cost seg :) Feel free to connect and PM me.
