@Dante Williams can you please provide any link or detailed information for the meet up?

Go visit your top one or two picks, look them in the eye, tour the town and see some props first-hand.

@Mikky ChanthavongWhen you come across a property that you think meets your criteria, put it under contract and then do your due diligence: inspection, detail of rehab costs, financing, etc. 

Details are in the "events" section.

I understand why realtors wouldn't like a detailed inspector..lol  But I am hoping to find some insight from people who have experience with them! 

I will give you details about the lot and location.

I will give you details about the lot and location.

Your best option is to explain your situation in great detail and even then, your responses will be split as to which way you should go.One thing I will mention is that once you become a powerhouse with the number of units you have, you may have more leverage over the banks. 

In probing for more detail, it appears to be a company policy due to the issues that Wells Fargo is having.
