Hi All,Does anyone have suggestions for sourcing SFR Portfolios for sale? 

You can bring in outside cash from another source if you want.  

I found those videos to be an excellent source of free information.Good luck!

The lender wants all "owners" to be on the mortgage so that they will have no problem using the property to cover a default.The only way I could imagine not having both buyers applying for a joint mortgage would be if both of the buyers could borrow money from a different source, either equity on a different property or investment.

Well personally I think some of those articles are whacked...as my mother says: "consider the source" and with out knowing the objectives and perspective of the source it's just hard to tellDo I think Real Estate is a get rich quick business no I do not but is it very possible to build significant wealth absolutely and many on this site are testimonials to that.

We need 3 years of financials for the building, a renovation budget, and a sources/uses of funds summary.I would start off by getting a YTD P&L from the Seller.

But if your just assessing deals then it's quite difficult to get the true numbers from any online source, database, or even county records... 

I just want to find reliable sites and sources to point me in a good direction as I am still new to all of this.

Just saw a episode of Judge Judy.. similar situation.. and yes,, the insulation needs to come out. you could get additional quotes,  remove brush, trash from exterior, any tree limbs that touch building, get exterminator in to bait and trap. next will be holes thru the ceiling from the rats.. any holes or vantage points on roof they are gaining access from, by A/C unit or vents that are damaged.. they are getting in some how and food source is active enough to keep them. 

Milwaukee Hard Money or do a search for "Hard Money Wisconsin' here in BP and you will see other potential sources as well.
