There is a regional bank, Seacoast.  

I can't say this for all MLS systems, but the Pike Peak region MLS also has a feature which allows clients to set up a portal which acts as a back door to the MLS and allows you to do your personal searches.

The other unit is a complete gut-job and I expect to pay in the region of $15-20k to get this unit in a suitable condition. i am looking to get completed by early summer so it too can be rented out.once these units are up and running, i am looking to continue the process - purchasing foreclosure/distressed properties, up-dating/rehabbing and then renting them out. i am looking to apply this method in the lower end of the market scale, where the total project will not exceed $30k - thus my question is whether to Refi the 1st rental unit or obtain a HELOC on it?

I live in the Syracuse, NY region and have found an agency that appears to specialize on helping investors.

I am hopeful to meet tons of other investor in my local region and build relationships and grow myself by learning as and networking within my community and BP.  

Our interest rates for hard money are typically in the region of 10-13% and the origination cost charged to you for us to make the loan is 3-4%.The advantages of taking hard money are that it's a shorter term commitment from you, and further, with us at least, there's no prepayment penalty to pay it off as quick as you can, borrower credit is not a factor, and nor is the borrower's personal income.

Others, usually less than $5 million, were generally originated by a local or regional bank and retained in the loan portfolios of those banks.
