While we do a lot of volume, it was difficult scheduling contractors to be sure they could complete on our schedule.

When you categorize your daily tasks by priority of should do's, and creating the uninterrupted time in your day to get it done, the results will be astounding.

Theres a ton of good info in there shared daily. 

I assume you just mean it wasn't a conventional lender.I understand your frustration (I really do...real estate investors, agents, and brokers get run through the ringer by lenders on a daily basis, and I am all three!).

, what the loan type was (Better hope its not an equity line), what the original terms were (Better hope it wasn't modified), whether there was any previous default, any capitalized interest, any change in terms, any forbearance, deferred fees, property inspection/preservation costs, and so on and no, none of that is public and so no, nothing can be modeled in any calculation assumption for all of those variables so it's all a guess and while some of these entities do a good job of guessing and making their assumptions, still, at the end of the day, it's all a guess until the NOD gets filed and after that, it's all public and free and the whole world knows and even then, it changes daily and you don't get any updated information until  the NOTS or judgment and by that time, too late.

Are you looking in your desired market daily?  

Create a filter in your MLS, that way you can run a quick report daily and evaluate anything that looks good.Create a filter in MLS for short sales & look at it dailyCreate a filter in MLS for bank owned properties & look at it dailyWho are the top short sale agents in Orlando? 

We'd like to increase our volume so we'll need to start looking at hard money soon.

However without the partners I feel limited in the volume.  

It takes experience and a team to successfully manage a high volume of properties.
