I am wondering if I need to get access to loopnet and if I do get access does that give me the ability to contact the listing broker so I can get the deal done with my dad myself.

Write it up as a personal letter.When you do all that, then contact a local RE Agent to give you a list of all the houses in that neighborhood that have sold in the last 5 years with all cash.

On the Multiple Listing Service, agents who are listing multi families rarely have all the numbers that are needed to see if its a good deal or not.

Well you can put me on your buyers list! 

You will need to submit a repair list with a budget and the bank can give you a loan based on the ARV.

So far I read that following can be negotiated:Lender origination chargeTitle services and lender's title insuranceOwner's title insuranceSurveyHomeowner's insuranceIs the list correct?

Although I've seen others put it up as something else entirely.I've been successful at getting a lower purchase price, but it required a new appraisal, a value dispute, list of repairs, new comps and producing evidence of showing history.

Also, if your parents are listed as the owner, then they will owe any taxes on any taxable income from the rents, as well as being able to deduct the depreciation from that income. 

Seems like investors would be throwing away a lot of deals that way if they were mailing to Pre-Foreclosure lists

I'm kicking myself for not investing my earnings from 2011 when I sold my company and now I've discovered the opportunity of building wealth through real-estate.
