I sure as hell don't write poems, look at the periodic table and calculate the molecular structure of anything, know every little fact and date about every little war, or use trig on a normal basis.

I send the titlte company a sheet of instructions before the closing and ask for a HUD-1 214 hours in advance so I can start addressing problems before I get to the closing table.

I just want to make sure I have solid justification for the offer price if I get to the negotiating table.

Another thing you can do is advertise in your real estate investor club publication, if any, or have flyers laying out on the table for members to pick up.

There is no conflict of interest, however, as Aaron pointed out, coming to the table with cash and with a good rep gets you the deal over another and in lots of cases, a better price.

In a simultaneous transaction, the seller will sell that newly created mortgage note right at the closing table..So I was wondering if this was still possible even though I'm going to be assigning the contract.

In essence I am selling a piece of paper and get paid before they go to the close table.

That being said, I've had to tell a realtor, "You're full of sh*#" at the closing table about a fee he tried to sneak into the HUD.

The investors who buy these homes are folks looking for a long term hold that will cash flow.We have found one regional lender that will do 8 mortgages, and the last four are being based on 55% of value, so the investor will need to bring a little money to the table on these deals.

People feel it is a large mountain to climb, but in reality it is simple if you just break it down into smaller attainable steps.One of the big things for me, is to keep positive and focused.
