So Close I Can Taste It

Hey Doug,
I think that problem is, at least partially, caused by the fact that we call ourselves investors. Normally everybody sees an investor as a person who brings money to the deal. But that is not what we are doing, we bring the deal to the money.
Now if our agents see that, they shouldn't be asking for POF, unless the offer we ask them to make, will not result in a real deal.
Most of all, if the agent doesn't have the right mindset all we can do is moving on. Just look for the right agent and the POF problem goes away by itself!

if you have a good relationship with your buyers, you can ask them to give you a copy of their statement where they have funds to purchase the deals you will bring to them.

or, if you have a friend or family member who has funds available, to act as your POF person, and when you get a deal, you can pay them a small fee

Thanks everyone, I ended up getting a POF letter from Best Transaction Funding. I also am going to see if my buyers can assist like Valerie mentioned and her other options, good to know. Coastal says that you can only use theirs for REO's/shortsale double closings. Going to dig a little deeper into if I really require it if I am doing a assignment of contract.
