In Chicago or San Antonio, it’s a similar hustle... you build the right relationships with smaller property managers who know local investor groups, and suddenly you’re the guy who can feed them deals they never thought they’d find on BiggerPockets alone.As for the fear of getting stuck with a contract, it happens less often when you’ve done your homework on the numbers and aren’t overselling some mediocre deal.

To have enough discretionary funds to be able to invest at this level means that even if a deal goes completely down the drain, I can still feed my family, tithe to my church, pay my bills, and try again later.I do appreciate the probing nature of your questions!

So now instead of feeding the hungry stock market you can feed the hungry rental.I have watched people keep big debt on their home and then have the stock market crash.

@Michael Baum Thank you, I didn't know it was Evasive but honestly thank you it seems like to alot of people that it was a bunch of jargon/mumbo jumbo and I need to be straight forward I took everyones advice and have actually been getting more replies I've only been calling and emailing landlords/apartment complexes for about a week now so I'm still green but thank you for your feed backIt's hard to show gratitude through a screen but really thank you Micheal truthfully, I will/have make more changes I definitely don't want to be evasive.

I appreciate the feed back.

Because the grid is getting feed via solar, a person in many markets can get solar power, the question is via a privatized system or via the utility provider. 

My email feed brought this discussion up, again.I’m perplexed at how some posters read too many things into other’s posts. 

These have been very grounding.I don't want this feed to turn into a chain of the same type of comments so I'll bring attention to what matters the most - two quotes from my original post.Thanks again all:)

Unless you are feeding the cats it is just the way nature is, other outdoor animals like squirells can carry fleas too.

Make sure the numbers so that if you put in 60k to 70k you're getting some sort of annual net profit so you aren't having to feed the investment.
