Finally spoke to a guy named David Poku and after a fairly good presentation I asked for a few references and they can't give them out.

Are you looking for the present value of the note? 

Houses in Crystal are so poorly presented when sold, that I'm itching to find a few and put some $$ in and flip.  

I'm seeing a lot of double digit cap rate returns upstate, and in places like Connecticut.

During that time, you have to get your tenant out, clean up the house, fix it up and make it sale-presentable..etc etc.  

The distance thing isn't an issue since all files are digital anyway.

The market seems very hot at this point so not sure where the real-estate bubble is in the foresight.Looking at Bridgeport , Pilsen , Lower west , Maybe some suburbs to invent in.Its hard to get a double digit cash on cash return at this point. 

@Allie Reeves  If the present owner SOLD her the property (via contract for deed, land contract), a bank would look on that history.  

Would I make the seller who is presenting me these deals sign a master fee agreement for helping to facilatate this deal or my buyer?
