@Sarah SchlueterWelcome to the site.I have many clients who now invest in deals with my company as JV's.What you want to do is work with them as clients and show the value you bring to the table.

After 4 months of negotiation with bank, I finally bought it for my client at 185k.

I have seen many clients profiting greatly in Cleveland. 

Good morning fellow BP'ers, especially those in the Columbus, Ohio AreaI am in search of places to discover potential properties that I could refer clients to for investment purposes.

My attitude with another client, partner, or people in general is "How we can help each other?"

Over the next 6 months for clients I am expecting to close out about 100 million in volume on the commercial side.I specialize in multifamily and retail.

I can't talk to the loan part of your question, but I do have a client, friend, and trusted adviser that I could put you in touch with that could help you out in the mortgage arena.  

They had paid the proper sales tax and had no idea they had to pay income tax as well.The short answer to your question, @Coleen Mathis, is that California has no idea what your profit is, but isn't willing to take a chance that you'll intentionally or unintentionally forget to file a California non resident return (like the clients I mentioned above).  

I have a nice write up concerning the nature of the business I'm interested in doing with them, but what I don't have is: a list of clients, contractors that I usually work with, proof of funds, and really any sort of legitimizing material to suggest I know what the hell I'm doing.

im right there will @Alex Chin i think there is a great potential for Bremerton with inventory issues in the Seattle area and more people buying the new downtown complexes, i personally know of multiple buyers waiting to get into the BLDG 400 because of the closeness and another client wanting a nice little tiny house for 200k which is awesome for most places in america for a home that you could pick up for 60k it just has got to be close to the ferry and rehab.
