Hey Stephanie I'm a long time reader I'm new to the forums as well, good luck with your new investments.

I don't think seperate meters, but honestly I didn't pay attention.

Besides everything else I am doing, 5 paid off houses in 5 years in nice areas I can buy with equity and buy sub2, I am paying attention.

I have posted several homes and have gotten lots of attention.

Some folks need that wake up notice to get their attention.

I'd just hate for others to read this post thread and think your stats are accurate and that I am trying to get 1900 for a house in a 1300 market and then focus on that in their replies rather than offering up creative marketing suggestions and attention-getters that I am really looking for.

It got huge media attention along with a Colorado case.

I'll take the attention with open ears and a spongy brain.Thanks for the opportunity to meet everyone and I look forward to giving back to this community.

Just thinking out loud here, and because I have a similar situation I am working with now...To get the sellers attention, and due to their age, I would negotiate less down payment, in exchange for a prepayment penalty (only if legal in your state, and so they know you wont buy, fix and flip in a year) which gives them the income stream they still have, and the tax-deferred benefits for 2-3 years.

I have been totally truthful in my profile, when you can find anyone in the country with similar experience or more, I'll give them my full attention, until then, I'm not impressed.
