I know you view your investing as something that will pan out with patience, and some people just have a hard time being that faithful to a cause when so many potential problems may arise.

Hey BP,I'm currently looking for a small multifamily deal near Knoxville TN but everything in my price point (<$320k) seems to not be panning out and I'm starting to get discouraged with this goal.The last place I looked at (a duplex), the seller is trying to sell it for $279,900 but the rents are only $700 per side.

Maybe a burned pan full of garlic will do the trick.  

Worst case, if they cut corners on the pan and waterproofing, you'll have a complete tear-out on your hands.

Cash flow might look attractive in the midwest, but what's good on paper may not always pan out in reality.

He only has a TIN (temporary identification number).

I am wanting to sell comics, tin signs, and other things for nostalgia sakes.

BB&T in Charlotte has a commercial loan Dept that will do these loans.  

Proper due diligence and spending the right amount of time on the panning and research phase will reduce the actually amount of time you spend on managing your investments later on.

If we get through closing, and my analysis pans out, this came together very well, and I feel fortunate.
