You need to come in and establish yourself as someone that isn't messing around and knows what's going on.

On the contrary, we need to accept true cases where disability and need is established, but how exactly does one go about that process is THE elephant in the room?

We are a full service real estate firm specializing in working with investors...we offer sourcing and acquisition services, a General Contracting firm that can provide remodeling and rehab services, a property management division that manages over 800 SFR's for investors like you...and we are established and trusted by many corporate investors like Invitation, Progress and Tricon. 

Definitely swings the numbers a little bit, but the extra ~$500 / year for a SFH or duplex shouldn't change the game too much.

Once you have established the business you will not need to rely upon personal finances to guarantee the loans.

Along side that I'm wanting to get in to the buy and hold rental game in a few ~B- neighborhoods.I've never worked with a buying agent before, and they usually seem to be focused either on "homes" or "investments".

What is the end game, what are we striving to? 

This strategy puts new listings in front of those from well established ones.

I backed into it and did not do the steps required to avoid big dollar losses.. if I knew then what I know now..I could be so far ahead of the game.
