Your other option is to pay a little more and pull a list of 1000 homes that actually meet your criteria, and mail to them. 

It now sounds very difficult to pull that off.

@Nick Stangowhile it can be possible to pull your personal funds with the funds of an IRA in a joint investments under certain circumstances it is very easy to commit a prohibited transaction with this arrangement. 

I can't see quality brokers like Mark Ferguson or Joe Evangelisti pulling this scared schoolyard stunt, either.   

I've done more foolish things with $20,000 in my short life, so I'm inclined to just pull the trigger on this one.I'm all ears, people!

She said that as she was opening the mailbox, she pulled her arm back and scraped it along the railing (about a meter away) and the skin was ripped open due to the rough surface.An attorney called me and said they were claiming compensation.

Well this is called “reinforcing”I use analogy of a rope and TUG OF WAR and there is a line to be pulled over.The sellers on one side and you’re on the other, and most negotiations it’s tug of war.Well I don’t want to be a tug-of-war.I want them to pull me on their side, I don’t want to pull them to my sideThis “reinforcing” helps them pull me to their side.There’s another reason for this,this a nontraditional outside the box kind of solution,and I want to prepare them the sellers to be talking to their friends about what they’re doing with their house.They get to answer this question “how you sell your house, how much did you get for it?”

You can try a mortgage broker who has access to many wholesale lenders, or a local bank/credit union.Or find alternate means of financing, like pulling a line of credit from an existing property (if possible).Hope this helps.

Hi Arthur, There is additional due diligence required to determine if these notes are right for you and your business model: For the 1st note, you always want to pull an Encumbrance and Occupancy report, looking for any back taxes, municipal liens, HOA's, whether or not the property is located in a flood plain, etc.

So what I experienced may not be typical for others. and 99% of mine also were me paying a big chunk to pull it out of foreclosure.
