Best note flow for me comes from relationships first, lists second: I work direct with smaller banks/credit unions’ special assets, property managers and loan officers who flag nonperforming borrowers, and active investors offloading re-performing paper; I’ll also tap a few vetted brokers, but I require full tapes, collateral files, clean chain of title, and recent pay history before bidding.

In Ohio markets like Cleveland, Dayton, and Toledo, it often pairs well with affordable properties and strong cash flow, assuming there’s reliable property management in place.Just be aware of annual inspections, red tape, and local housing authority requirements.

@Kumar R.There is undeniably more red tape bureaucracy to deal with in Latin America than in the US.

When it comes to real estate investing, speed and flexibility often make the difference between landing a great deal; or watching it slip away.That’s where private money changes the game.Unlike banks or traditional lenders, private lenders don’t have layers of red tape or endless approval processes.

Looks like asbestos tape on the HVAC that could be called out in an appraisal but unlikely.

Plus rock roads versus concrete or asphalt. 

We have a cobbled together system that sure, it works, but when you cobble so much together next thing you need other systems just to help "tape" things together making the tech stack all the taller.

Visiting the housing authority in person could be the only way to cut through the red tape.

It's a confusing and slow jumble of bureaucratic red tape. 

No, it's not some wonky work around, it's 100% legit, just some red-tape to it all and new-con buys make it so much easier hence why so many buy new-con when utilizing this strategy.
