Hi Everyone,Could anyone recommend a financial planner/accountant based in Rochester NY.

My thinking is that sticking with the blanket criteria will provide the protection of sticking with the numbers and not making “exceptions,” but you may lose out on opportunities for commanding higher rents in the first case or may lead to higher vacancy rates if you don’t adjust down in the latter case mentioned above.

In short, I'd prefer to see some marketable skills on top of just finding a deal, such as construction skills, financial skills, or legal skills.

It is a decision based on their persona desires not financial goals.

My questions are;  Besides a note stating the SFH as collateral, what documents do I need to protect myself should this go south.This is my first attempt at Hard Money lending and others have inquired of me but I want to get this under my belt first.Thanks for any and all help you can provide.

There are lenders in Oregon and Washington that will provide funds to bid.you must deposit 20% of the bid amount with them.. so lets say opening bid is 200k you need 40k.they put up the rest.. then they take a security interest in your trustees receipt and put their name on it to protect them.then once the trustee's deed comes they roll it into a normal HML.. with Deed of trust and note.they will also provide the lists and do the bidding for you.. their is a fee for each ala carte component.. so there has to be significant meat in the deal to make this work for the investor.. its a flippin money machine for the lender though. 

With that in mind, you should expand your search to get you to the best financial position possible.

We wanted to create an LLC for each property we buy so that each home is protected separately.

If you add some more details on the financials for the deals and what state they are located in and your credit, other BP folks can recommend some lenders for you potentially.

I would like to go 10x mode.What is your best way to find new partner and financial partners?
