I based my math on 65% occupancy and it still comes out to being far more profitable than traditional renting..This is entirely new to me and will be my first investment property as I will be PCS'ing to Drum in December.

Got a job with a hard money lender looking to generate sales.I can't speak from the lender or broker side but I can speak from the client side.Some good ways to drum up investors to use hard money loans is:1) Real estate investment group meetings.

Agree that it won't help the seller get top dollar but if the motivation is truly to liquidate asap that info will help drum up interest from buyers.You won't hear that story in a hot market like Denver unfortunately!

you have ft drum up there and a lot of small towns with colleges. lots of opportunities if you dont hate living in the cold.

Finally - drum roll!

I've been active as a buy-and-hold investor in Birmingham for an year now, and will echo @Rob Drum's sentiment that Birmingham is an excellent investment market.

The lender marches to the beat of their own drum.

I think it's one of those things where the SEC regs let you drum up interest before you actually start selling.Should be worth investigating.I couldn't tell you how they're planning to invest, with all the legal impediments, as per your post, currently in place.

As a wholesaler, in order to get a property under contract, there's the advertising, the postcards, the negotiations, drumming up investors, etc, etc.

Has anyone ever gotten the feeling that maybe their lead paint inspector was drumming up business for his contractor friends, and securing a re-inspection fee for himself?
