@John Cameron  go to your profile page right below your name it says Realtyshares.comfurther below in small writing it says Seattleshares.comcould be a typo on your profile page.I started in HML in 1985 and Mentor with the master Jack Langer in Oakland. and I can 100% tell you that relationship with your borrowers is worth 2points all day long and borrowers are not going to jump ship for small % they turn the loans to quick and its about scale and time and knowing for sure you have a deal.And as you say many rehabbers are not that great businessmen and I can tell you any that are not great would never get by a prudent portals underwriting at least not RS Patch of land or REalty mogul all of how I am intimately familiar now there are some hac portals out there that made some major boo boos but no more .And SEC has NOTHING to do with the individual underwriting of a sponsors deal ... there is no uniform underwriting criteria a portal has to follow .. just like me as a HML there is no underwriting guideline I have to follow unless I am tagging the loans to my credit line at the bank and or using PPMS.. but when its our own cash we do what we want..

We recently joined a local REIA and would like to meet other like minded individuals in our area. 

Live readings on an individual water device are not cost effective in most cases.

What I'd be hoping for is that I click with someone, who ends up happy to teach you a thing or two in the hopes that in a couple years, he/she gets a commission off your first purchase!

Anyway, we are now still considering this house hack, but are also looking to buy a single family home for a "live in flip" and perhaps purchase individual investment properties out of town.

I only deal with individuals who are either having issues paying their mortgage or investors.

Hi,looking to talk to individuals in my area with like minded goals!

You can hire individual companies to do the work if there is minimal work & permits.

We are looking for a company or individual who can not only prepare our taxes, but also be an adviser to guide us along the way.

Although the county isn't as real estate friendly as some (well, the ahem individuals that have been constantly suing the county) it's a phenomenal location.
