@Brian Wilson - right now am looking to start out in SFRs that cash flow well. just sent you a connection invite. let's meet up if you and your buddy have some time during that week.

It might be in NY.Agency disclosure is the mandatory paperwork which goes with the offer and both, buyer and seller, must sign it even if two different agents form different brokerages involved.LBPD and the pamphlet are mandatory for houses built before 1978 and there is a lot of financial responsibility for skipping it.

I am not familiar with syndication, but heard several people offering at our local investing club in Nashville a while back, maybe try the head of local real estate group in GA?

I dived into the BiggerPockets forums and started soaking up as much information as I could along with listening to the Podcasts.Don't let time or distance stop you from starting I was halfway around the world working 14hr days 7 days a week and I still managed to put in five offers on cabins and met people are hear willing to share their knowledge and time.

Find a good real estate investor offer calculator and run your numbers to ensure you have good profit margins.

How could you submit an honest offer if you knew all the other offers coming in?

I appreciate your offer of assistance and I will definitely keep ya in mind!

> "There are strong indications that a neighboring property is in preforeclosure"Depending on what his motivations are, he could offer to buy the mortgage from the bank?

Using this information I work with my Realtor to put an offer together.If the offer is totally rejected I file it away.  

So does your firm offer these loan products?
