Hi Fellow BPers,This is a success story about helping homeowners and profiting from a non-performing note backed by a 1st mortgage in Washington, DC.

I have what I consider an interesting scenario and I am curious to get some coaching/thoughts/feedback from fellow BP members:I have a seller who wants to get out of her property (4 family in Cincinnati, Ohio), but ultimately wants more than it’s worth (in my opinion), but she has great equity so I offered her full price if she was willing to seller finance the remaining portion at 0% for up to 3 years so that I could easily refinance and get her paid off later.

But the work is not challenging and my fellow co-workers have instructed me to slow down on numerous occasion.

I am presently working with a fellow investor and we're primarily focusing on flipping properties in Virginia and PG County.

Below are quick links to get engaged on this site.Congratulations on your REI accomplishments to date.

It's always great to see a fellow N.

@Justin Mariniak @Julie Haveman has a great idea about pushing back the closing date if that will work for both parties.

One last thing... to all the fellow investors as well as real estate agents out here...What are some of the key questions you would ask when screening a real estate agent to make sure they are someone you would desire to work with for the long-term?  

Projections and pro formas are as rosy and promising as an online dating profile.....most aren't close to reality.
