i recently worked with someone from WI who was blown away by the prices out here.  

Hi everyone,I am a real estate agent in the Milwaukee area and someday would like to be an investor as well. Looking to soak up as much as I can on here--I'm a part of Milwaukee REIA and specialize in probate real est...

If not, it may be a better time investment to try and secure better financing for yourself. 

@Joe W., I feel like you're exactly where I was a year ago.I am in Los Angeles.  

If individuals want to lend less it would be an un secured note.We provide our lenders....Purchase Price Info, Property Address, Projected Rehab Costs, (typically just total amount) ARV.For security......Promissory noteMortgageAdded as an additionial insured to insurance policy.For a 5,000 note I dont provide any additional security, as it would not e tied to a specific property. 

I have no doubt that if I could find an accredited investor or non-bank lender I'd be able to secure funding.

They are senior to their debt, so they can crush, make sur there are's any other secured interests on the property. worth the $100 or so for a prelim title report. 

I have found some sites provide considerable due diligence type information and others treat it like a national security secret. 

I have an ITIN, but no Social Security number as Immigration just delay and delay.

Otherwise I go through after they leave mark up the security despot and send it back.
