It's my personal opinion that this is the most dreaded part of buying and selling property, not to mention NOT closing on time due to the lack of urgency of your Loan Officer.As an investor, it's crucial that you secure the best financing available.

I can provide lists on a regular basis of potential hot deals.

Most prospective buyers can't really secure the financing they'd need to purchase (rundown urban area) I did get a call from an investor who owns some rental houses nearby who wants to buy on land contract.
