In another option, if you find an acquisition at $20k and your rehab was $40k, your all-in is again $60k.

I actually live in two different places depending on day of the week,,,so day of week is most important.The smaller town I live in,,,I really doubt such a group exists.

10% lift in the markets I am building in is not out of the question.

I'm looking in to buying in cash but that limits what I can buy and since I live in NYC the buy in is very high unless I go 1 1/2 - 2 hours drive away from home.

I didn't have much hope that I could buy the note, but just thought I'd check if there was some in I didn't know about.Regarding a short sale: If I get the deed from owner, do lenders have channels set up for me to work a short that doesn't involve the borrower?
