Prior to acquiring a property, I am 95% certain of the cash flow I can produce...that is not speculation.

Banks want to make sure you have enough income to service all your debts plus regular living expenses.

Many of them truly CAN NOT handle the pressures of a regular job.  

So apart from searching BP for investors in your area, how about drive-by's - even contractors (especially those doing reno's) can be a valuable source of information about local investors they know of or have worked for.Hows about dropping into your local Title Co, not a BP resource, but I'll bet they'll be aware of investors who buy from them on a "regular" basis (whatever 'regular" may be in your location).Good luck.

I'm starting to switch my mindset a bit and focusing more on higher leverage activities that can produce the same results without drowning in a SEA of smaller deals...I'm talking commercial syndication/high end flips/and even commodities trading, where $1M+ spreads are not uncommon. 

I find, if I regularly use such an attorney, he will often send some deals my way.

One of my favorite reports, which I’ve used for many years, is produced by Dr.

It's been producing a LOT of carbon monoxide, so much that I feel like it's a hazard to go into the basement to work on it.Does anyone have any ideas about how I can 1) reduce the amount of carbon monoxide produced or 2) better mitigate?

If you buy in a state where they have a branch you might can get a regular loan through them as a Canadian citizen etc.If there isn't that connection and you want to own on your own then the foreign national program putting 40 to 50% down or paying all cash is the answer on the small balance stuff.You can get great terms with non-bank for 25% down but would need about 750,000 with 500,000 down, 200,000 in reserves, and 50,000 for legal and closing costs.

They should produce anything you want..
