But we do travel further for some of our clients.  

I'm full time employed but when I'm not traveling, I'm driving for dollars.  

I think finally the asset manager might have gotten tired of it, and also all the other quotes we sent in regarding other issues with the house - so when we asked for a $50k credit, he was willing to work with us.The bank is Citibank.We have an appointment to get the C/O and Smoke Cert today.

At the end of the day, the acquisition part is the big hit on traveling.

I would suggest you contact the following people on BP and perhaps meet them for a beer and smoked wings at Saws. :).

They had none and the traveling seller had already left.  

I was a member of CREIA, but it just got so far for me to travel once I moved so I haven't been in awhile.

Some are individuals worth 7,8,9 figures so confidentiality is expected.Having said that you should know right away if someone is blowing smoke or they have the skills.   

How do I find more accurate repairs estimates without wasting a contractors time on someone that has no proven ability to buy the house and hard money lenders want BPO's, how do I get those without having a realtor willing to travel all over the metro area for nothing (or paying them a bunch to do them and finding out I just wasted a lot of money) Without having true numbers, I use theirs and add to the repair estimates and then factor in a guesstimate of closing, holding and hard money costs (they only accept hard money or cash).

Will be traveling with wife and making a decent wage in a tax free country.
