Even then it's unlikely that is the source of your paint problem.

If these are truly dog properties and their listing agreement is about to run out then I would say that the best course of action is to let them sit.Other than that I'd go directly to the source and not complicate things with proposing MLOs to listing brokers.

The other items are visual only inspections and no additional inspections are done to find the source of the issueHUD will do no repairs nor provide any price reductions. 

@Getachew Hundera,Another source of private lenders is anyone with whom you establish a personal relationship (prerequisite to private lending per the SEC) who would consider investing in your deal.Essentially, it could be anyone who is nervous about the risk and volatility of the stock or other markets and is looking for a safer investment secured by real property.Learn how to attract and engage private lenders other than your family and your current friends and associates.

I advertised for "Partners" because I was under the impression that we can't 'solicit' private lenders, but I would prefer a 'lender' at 15% than a partner at up to 50%.Whenever I read about 'raising capital', it's usually related to bigger deals and getting capital for those deals from several different sources.  

I've gathered from these forums and other sources that Raleigh/Durham has a fairly good rental market but how is the wholesaling/flipping market here?  

Also buying former rental property from landlords might be a good source.

I am wondering what the best source for getting property ownership information would be?

Did a little search on the best sources and I found this website to help learn and prepare myself.  

You guys are saying it, the podcast is saying it and other news and sources are saying it so I feel it's a much better option, regardless, I'm going to have to learn a new market might as well choose the "best".
