I fund many of them all over the country but they are generally very seasoned and experience and I have long track records with them.. but I did violate my own rule and did a one off with a bp member this year and lost a few bucks. 

Despite being in the RE industry, I lost sight of my desire to invest! 

This site is amazing, so much info I'm lost.

At this point you haven't lost anything (thank goodness!)

We also don't show properties until we have a pre-approval letter or proof-of-funds.Otherwise, you run the risk of wasting lots of time showing properties to those who may not be qualified to buy and even if they are, will later turn and buy it from another broker - frequently a relative or "long lost friend" with a RE license.For FIX & FLIP INVESTORS, we have a different agreement.  

I have literally driven to the bank to deposit 3M and 4 Million dollar checks with this friend and now it seems like he's lost his mind.

I'm not looking for a guarantee just an average of "what to expect" obviously I'm offering what makes sense as an investor so I'm expecting plenty of people telling me to get lost.

Hopefully all hope is not lost. ( Im open to suggestions on CPA's too.

Weeks is great, but sometimes we feel "lost in the shuffle" since they are such a big firm.  

Lenders want to lend money ... they really don't want to foreclose on a property and then either sell it (probably for less than the loan balance if they financed 100%) or fix it and flip it.If the HM borrower walk away the day (or week) after securing a HM loan, they really have not lost anything.
