@Eli M.The situation with your lender sounds a bit odd but I suppose different strokes for different lenders. 

They key to their success is people just like you who give a quick glance and just go with the flow.. where as looking back it might seem odd that you'd get such a casual email for such a big change...

It's an odd neighborhood. 

@Jessica MelendezWow I apologize for not reading your post better lol Yeah oddly enough month to month is actually what you really want as a landlord .

However, the odds of you filing a qualified claim are slim.

Brian, I don't think investors WANT to see 50 or 100 houses before they make an offer but I would make a couple of points:1) As I tell my life partner "you have to kiss a lot of toads" before you find the right one but this is related to how you find the home...meaning if it is on the MLS - typically harder to find a deal although not impossible, if you drive for dollars you might have to look a lot of owners up but if you get to the point to see one odds start to flow in your favor2) If what you refer to is being a newbie and trying to understand what a good deal is or is not and if you have the time, touring that many properties to get an idea of value is fine.I have a w2 job and family so never had the time to specifically look at 100 properties with no intention to buy --  this is in no way a requirement.  

Not an odd request by any means, some sellers want to keep riding the wave of interest payments, and some want to get cashed out and move on.

The odds of all of that happening at one time are pretty extreme. 

I have entertained the idea of getting my real estate license (so we could be saving money on our buys and sells) as well as helping take care of the odds and ends errands that eats into my husband’s time (running to stores for materials, fixtures, etc.).

Also is it wrong to talk to more than one realtor, since I'm just starting out and have not built up any working relationships with anyone, to increase the odds of finding more property?
