Plus HUD only allows you to pull money from an escrow account 2x a year plus you have to pay an auditing fee annually. 

My current guys are legit and pull permits.

Temporary fix the problem and look for a long term solution.  

This money can eventually be pulled out and recycled but I'll leave that for another discussion.

I've been pulling my $/sqft and ARV from and average of the  online "Big Three",  are they consistently accurate enough to rely on?   

Even ask a realtor to pull comps on something for sale in the area?

I’d be cautious too about pulling equity through heloc or refinance to buy another rental property at this time.

Hi I have approximately 8 years left to retirement I will be 44 years old when I can start pulling my pension from my law enforcement job.

Although I am not ready to pull the trigger and purchase right now, I have been looking into both of these markets and would love to connect with an experienced realtor who has lived and worked in the area for quite a while who would be a great resource and eventually my realtor and the first of my team.I will be planning my first trip out there within the next 6 months so I would love to connect with someone who would be willing to meet me and show me the opportunities out there.For the meantime I just would like to establish contact with them for more insight on my goals and if they believe that I can find what I am looking for.

Yeah, going out for coffee is so cliche...you need to take people to honky tonks with gravel parking lots and super crews and test their reaction when a pit pull comes running up upon entry...only the best real estate investors can cut it...right @Benjamin Portnoy?
