@John Lyszczyk and @Unique Gatson I have a few but it depends on what you need - ie a quiet title, probate, litigator, general real estate, corp, etc.

You should have reviewed these types if issues before you got to the table.

I would consider it again on a much larger raise, but understand that your network will still have to bring the majority of the capital to the table. 

This is one of the most challenging and unique times for real estate investing, but you are all here reading, posting, and learning.

My dilemma still remains knowing whether or not I can get HM and at an acceptable rate when I actually want to make an offer -- especially in a time crunch when there are multiple offers on the table for a property that was just made available.

I should have caught this earlier.Every client's fee is based on their unique situation.I base my fees for any service provided on the following factors:1.

@Cornelius Charles I don't know if it was already suggested but since your wife is a realtor perhaps send list with us (best time to sell) postcards/letters seperately and uniquely.

With the profit from my first deal, I plan to get licensed.I'd never considered being an agent before, but through talking with so many motivated sellers willing to sell for decent discounts (just not a wholesale deal discount), I can see how I'm leaving money on the table by not being able to list and market them myself.I'm willing to bet that I could make more as a seller's agent than as a wholesaler.

I could always ask the seller to make the repairs prior to the sale but the seller is out of state now and also with another offer on the table initially my fear is they would not deal with us any further.Any help would be much appreciated.

Foreign investor who had been paying cash have slowed down quite a bit.. with many buying in your area frankly and other very tough rental markets and being sold crap properties for high prices and getting totally burned.. so they are much more cautious these days. 3. now that investor loans are back on the table investors are returning to pre 08 habits of obtaining debt when they can get it so they can leverage up...
