You'll have to give a big discount on a brand new note like this, especially since your buyer has bad credit (otherwise, they would just get a loan and we wouldn't be having this discussion.)

The concept is that by putting your pic on a card, you're building your personal brand, in the same way that using your pic as your avatar online does the same.

Since I have such a good reputation of owning and maintaining rentals, I have talked a local bank into giving me construction loans to build brand new ones.

Now bpo's are the crack cocaine for struggling broker/agents trying to feed their families.I know some that make 10k to 14k a month doing volume.Then there are the majority who do say 10 to 20 a week and if they didn't have orders from being click monkeys online they would be out of the business.You have others such as myself that might do now 4 to 5 orders a month just for kicks.I only do them for long standing clients who will pay me my fee.Now when we do a report now used to some brokers/agent would send out others to inspect the properties or take pictures.Now many mills have electronic signatures at the end of the bpo's stating you have visited the property,taken the pics,and valued yourself the property at hand.So when a broker/agent goes to do a interior bpo they might do them full time with thousands a year,they might be a brand new agent who got in with a mill and can be influenced,or they might be an agent in between who knows values but will at least take your papers to see if you are just puffing or have valid properties to consider.Where many agents mess up is the estimated repairs which can cause the bpo to come in high.Also may agents falsely believe if they value the property high it will foreclose and they will get the listing from the bank.The departments are separate and have nothing to do with each other.Occasionally an AM will see the agents name on the report and they might pick up business that way.I have seen investors show up at properties and tell the agent if they get the value to come in at XX then they will rehab it and give to the agent when they resell it to make a commission.Hope this helps

But, the only way to thrive in this global economy is through problem solving and innovation, and our school systems are designed to teach children how to solve problems or how to innovate.In short, it sounds like you and Bryan are saying the same thing, and I completely agree...
