What benefit does this provide them?

Any locators out there that specialize in this?

Directly across from it is a vacant 8,000 sqft lot listed for $75K.

I also have a terrible experience with the Columbus branch with Kurt Lehmkuhl, Kat Rosas and Gary Garrison.The level of incompetence from this company is ASTOUNDING.

I also know that this strategy is often used to leverage available cash for multiple deals.However, as a new investor, I've decided to focus on purchasing one property at a time and go through the learning process until I complete a refinance.Only after receiving the funds from the bank would I consider rolling into another deal or multiple deals.In this situation, do you think it's better to still take the 80% loan from a hard money lender, or should I use the cash I have and purchase the property outright?
