Since I am new I do not have a large pot of cash to use, so I am limited by partners and hard money terms.I am aware that if you can find a deal the cash partners will come, but how do you get a list of cash partners to reach out to when the deal is hot on the table and there really is not time to go solicit partnership before the deal is gone?

Buy artwork on eBay for a few dollars and I make the frames myself from lumber and a table saw. 

We're diversifying a bit with more flips, but also been dabbling in producing our own mill work (flooring, stairs, counters, etc) that we think will be another way to bring value to the table over time (and perhaps income as well).We have a great relationship with a local bank where we have I think 5 mortgages, a commercial line of credit - etc: and they've been transparent in letting us know debt to income level threshholds to continue lending.

Does the person have to first lay their money at the closing table or do they send their money to you?

I've never run into a bank that required me to have money when receiving a cash out refi unless I had to bring money to the table, as in a normal purchase. 

I am constantly attacked by the assistant to the property president for my condo associatiationThis man watches us all the time and hides behind windows and doors and every time something happens here in my house he is ready to tie us up, we have two small tables outside and a small chair and that bothers him too and makes him complain all the time. weather ,In the month of September I sent several emails to the Property Manager Associated Property Management of the Palm Beaches, Inc. informing him that I wanted a small fence in my patio covering the side of it so that he would not look so much here and I have my privacy on the property The manager replied that I needed a fencing engineer and they had to be approved by the association, I hired a company that would give me approval.

Do you think bringing the deal to the table - off market really good deal - brings some weight to the deal?
