Network with people that attend the meetings regularly and they will be able to tell you who is seriously buying.

I know when buying certain retail centers if an EPA issue is present the lender instead of their regular source of funds from the Fed bank they might have to fund internally on a property.

Also ask them if they know what RPR is and if they use it on a regular basis to run reports for their clients on many things that you just mentioned.

I am an Agent and used a regular purchase and sale with the Seller-just wondering how my assignment contract should look.  

First Tuesday also has a regular real estate school.

There are a couple other investors that I meet with on a regular basis.

You also probably failed to check the account regularly, thinking you can just leave it on autopilot, also wrong!

@Doron RiceFor you primary residence you used a regular lender and not a hard money lender.

Still, we got back in the saddle and kept on buying rental properties as I'm sure you'll do.As you noted, the big lessons here are to regularly review your insurance and always screen tenants.

If it gets to be regular I send them a letter.
