Your comment is going to leave me scrambling to research returns and note investing.

And then when something breaks, he just scrambles.  

When the Banksters lower the interest rates to zero or like in Europe, negative interest, people with money have to scramble to save their assets somewhere else and try to make money.

In this case, I would talk to your accountant now, so that you are clear on the plan,  and not scrambling at tax time.  

The tenant, who was between me and the front door, got thrown out of my way and out the front door I scrambled!  

So there are 1) very few scenarios where a deal makes sense, and 2) hundreds of other investors scrambling for the same deal when it does exist.With regards to short sales...A short sale is a long and drawn out (and often frustrating) process, and is not for the faint of heart, or for wholesaling, in my experience. 

I would constantly be needing to find the next deal, and as soon as I find one, I need to scramble to find a buyer.  

Also 4 of the 6 are not rented, so you would scrambling to find renters on 4 properties and doing lite rehab. 

I did not go into the deal wanting to syndicate and not knowing how, then scrambling to learn how. 

I find myself scrambling to find quality content to provide to my members.
