We file 65% of our tax returns by April 15 (this year we will prepare about 4,200 tax returns).Not trying to brag our team up, but we approach tax return preparation very methodically to avoid the situation you describe.Quick side bar- if you are a new client, we usually charge a small fee for extensions to be applied to your tax return prep fee, but we don't collect the whole fee up front.

Hi Charm,Are you trying to create criteria for the next time this happens you know if you will automatically deny it?

I have never heard of a program like that - I would be doubtful if it is worth it  - Understand a little about owner's motivation to sell. if a building is on the market for sale by FSBO, by agent or public auction - those sellers listing to sell are motivated - they may try to hide there desire to sell and say things like ''I ain't going to give it away!"

I agree with @Jonathan Greene that it may not be worth the hassle if this is the only time you're going to do a direct booking, but I would recommend trying to get more direct bookings. 

He could go out of his way to try to separately finance each half, but I've never seen any guidance suggesting that is necessary. 

I'm mainly interested in the BRRR method and in small multi-family, but all the strategies seem exciting to me, and I may want to try each at some point!

I would try and get a quote from bamboo and see what other options there are .i hope  this helps .

Trying to decide on if I should change to Baselane, doorloop, or something else.

If they have potential I would like them to be sent over to a friend of mine (who's in sales and recently got his real estate license, he's got the perfect personality for this) to try and close the seller.

@Thurben JamesSounds great but try and find an investor who will take only a 7% return to be in second position and 100% LTV and sponsor has zero skin in the game….
