There are state specific procedures, like tow companies use for car auctions.

I can give you my more specific opinions if you let me know if you are accredited or non-accredited?

It's not really the realtor's job to drive around and personally view specific houses for someone that may or may not come to work with them.

Or does equitable interest not count because it is specifically for closing costs and isn’t attributed directly to the purchase price?

That could bust your deal right from the start if not caught right away.You can PM me if you have any area specific questions.Good Luck!

@Andrew Syrios That was my thought, I guess I wasn’t sure how to go about that well, “last minute” and not specifically knowing of a private lender.

A friend of mine that’s a real estate broker and builder in houston Texas is in the Bay Area, downtown San Jose, California, to be specific for a few days and would like to connect with investors interested in investing in the Houston RE market.

This is a very big vague topic to cover so if you have specific questions IM me. 

how often do you talk (specific days/times)?

@Zev Dobuler what specifically are you looking for in an attorney?
