Hard Money in a situation like this is certainly the way to go for sake of ease and speed. 

You will be amazed by the speed and cost not to mention the return.

Since then, and simply put our company and mine experience will speed up the screening process with precision, instead of hunting down we educate our select buyers, sellers and investors.

It's just a fact of life that it's only a small percentage of people who fit the bill, with the vast majority of everyone else who simply like the idea of something, but never actually do anything about it ... or they try for a little while, hit a couple speed bumps, and then give up and move on to something else.

God Speed Hope to hear from you, Michael Short 

I'm a part-time investor in real estate, and I'm getting myself up to speed by reading, attending REIAs, and getting coached and trained from various sources.

Best to speed that up with local connections and networking. 

Greetings fellow members,I first to thank the BP platform owners and community for providing the forum, tools and systems to help newcomers in the REI arena getting up to speed and moving along with their careers.We are entrepreneurs from the Boston area with an international cosmopolitan background.

That would speed things up.

What should I do next so I can speed up this process and feel like im actually doing something productive?
