I was able to get a personal loan through lending club.

That being said I've done research and came across many different online and in person courses that are offered and was wondering what agency you went through and if you would recommend the same or a different agency?

The other one that fell through had a judgement filed against the homeowner right after we did the quit claim with the mortgagor and were about to close and redeem the property from the person that bought it at the sheriff sale.That judgement terminated the mortgagor's (and therefore our) ability to redeem that property.The response rate on our marketing campaigns has been extremely low; south of 1%, in fact.Our campaigns include door knocking, leaving notes on doors, as well as mailing the property and new addresses of the owners (when applicable).  

Where did you find this person?

IF he owns the house, make sure someone has told the tenant and that that person or representative of the seller is there to make sure you can get in. tell them to go there before the inspection and open the house for you, let them figure out how.

As a company we have done SFH mostly, but my personal portfolio is mostly MFH

The person who bought it hit a massive home getting it for $40k more than the formula suggested.

So far banks are insisting that I sign personally.  

Probably not helpful enough to give you the answer you are looking for, but that is my personal experience.

Its like a catch 22, just needs cosmetics = overpriced for an investor, needs tons of work = big risk for someone inexperienced.
