@Chase McArthur I’ve always wanted to look into mezzanine debt investing.

The guy you talked to was probably more of a bird dog than a wholesaler.

I recommend not wearing anything bright red, my one experience with that was that visitors seemed to think I was some huge territorial bird defending the open house.

@Chase Louderback, that makes sense if syndicating.

@Chase Louderback Thanks for the input.

It's the single biggest failure point for so many investors, in my opinion, because  without it we're just dogs chasing our tail.

What makes my situation somewhat unique is I'm trying to kill two birds with one stone and make renovations to my current house while also gaining financing to make my first deal. 

Currently I bank with chase, wellsfargo.

In fact, at Chase and Citi where I had wealth accounts, Chase called me to wish me a happy birthday, and Citi send me an e-card.But for business accounts, where till recent times I did the books for a local non-profit, banks have a "know your customer" program mandated under federal law, call you in, and quiz you like a criminal.

Problem is this market isn't huge, and I want to chase more similar opportunities in markets that are landlord friendly, low taxes/city utilities, and have a lot of small MFR available.
