Hello BP Community,I'm researching my first direct mailing here in Northern Virginia.

The initial contacts who generated the lead seemed sketchy but she seems to know the biz. 

I found this listing on Zillow, looked at the numbers and everything checked my boxes, so I contacted the owner and kept a close eye on the listing.

I currently have zero knowledge or experience in this field, and would like to connect with mentors and investors, to direct me on the whole nine yards of getting funding, real estate germin, where to begin, etc.

I ALWAYS tell the wholesaler to make sure they are transparent with the end buyer and their lender because MANY times if they aren't transparent about the double closing then the underwriter will catch it last minute and bring up the fact that the current deed holder isn't the wholesaler and that will kill the deal many time.There are some underwriters that don't catch it and things go smoothly.Then there are some conventional lenders that aren't familiar with the process and think it's fraud and won't lend on it.So sometimes I inform the wholesaler to let the end buyer go direct with the seller, do a single closing, Increase the purchase price by the amount of the wholesalers spread and put the fee on the SELLERS side of the HUD because the lender WILL NOT pay for the wholesalers fee, but if it's wrapped into the initial AB contract (now between the seller and end buyer) then the wholesalers spread isn't brought up, it's merely a line item on the SELLERS side HUD and nothing to do with the conventional lender and it will close "100%" of the time because it's a normal ordinary closing to that lender then.

However, you would be able to utilize some non-recourse lending options where loans would not report directly to credit, so you may Have the advantageous card in hand if you do so.

You've got less than 30 days before freezing temps out there in Michigan.Can't believe you didn't know his utilities had been off this long.Have your utility company have you as emergency contact for any shutoff's, power, gas, water..Your only choice I feel right now is to have the power put back in your name so you can protect your property from freeze damage,  until the guy gets evicted. 

Feel free to reach me directly, if preferred.Cheers
