I soon going to shop for Hard money.

Please Help as this is very new for me ( I own a few multi-families and have done all the oil tank,etc. stuff but this is very new for me).I am not looking to quibble over a few hundred dollars but in working with multi-family contractors, I've had quote difference of several thousand and have saved a lot of money shopping around.  

I drive to many miles to do the lease thing.. and the last thing I want to do is waste my time taking a car to the shop.. or be stranded or Pay one nickel other than oil change. 

Christmas does seem to be the most wonderful time of the year to go shopping for rental property.

@Theo HicksI was shopping for a Lawyer and I can't afford one at this time.

IF you shop in the midwest then your at a much lower entry point for purchasing.Have you decided which market?

The problem with many markets (and subsidized housing) is the rent can only go so high and then is not marketable to the potential tenants shopping for a place to live.

Hard Money guys are like "pawn shop" financiers. 

The problem is further exacerbated by the fact that when I get home I am also working a minimum of 40 hours in the shop getting the next project ready to ship offshore.....

You should consult with an agent or lawyer by the fact you are actually selling an option on your property $500 is way too little for the privilege and you need to get the buyers financial statements to even see if he is a possible buyer .On the surface it sounds like he is shopping your property around .
