@Jerryll Noorden Good point, our process is as follows:Mailers/Online AdvertisingCall center receives incoming leads and sets appointmentsSales agents run appointments and get property under contractDispositions team sets purchase price and sets up walkthroughsReceive offers and make final decisionRinse and repeatThe process itself isn't revolutionary, just that our team has effective people and we always maintain open lines of communication through our CRM, being in the office, and encouraging a culture where phone calls and texts are common.

Proximity to the mountains, 300 days of sun, great beer, legal weed, arts, culture, bars, restaurants, parks ...

The culture we have here syncs well with the virtues you listed above.

(Granted, working 80 hours/week didn't help...)Compared to that, the AirBnB trip was absolutely amazing in terms of *being* in the culture. 

., that have been part of the culture of a group of people for a long time—used to say that someone has qualities which are like the qualities of another well-known person or group of people from the past^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^With that in mind, I'd like to hear why folks seem to think that seller financing or an installment contract, like a contract for deed, or a wrap mortgage or a Subject-To transaction or a Lease and Option To Buy comes close to being "creative" financing.

A little restless after just celebrating 20 years with the same employer, but mostly enjoy it and it helps fund real estate and a 401K.Sounds like your wife may be into healthy eating; I have similar interests.

Based largely on its affordability, cultural and leisure activities, education options and quality housing, Pittsburgh is the ninth smartest place to set down roots.

We are hosting a couple events this month including a workshop on how to monetize your passion and our REIA NYC Relaunch Celebration.  

I'll follow your thoughts today and celebrate tonight.

GO CELEBRATE EMOTIONS WHEN YOU SCORE THE BIG PROFIT AT THE END OF SALE OR REFI AT THE BAR etc etc lol.The bank will go lower, they always will go lower.Banks are down right retarded about money when it comes to an REO - they make bad choices financially from our perspective looking in, but that is what creates opportunity for people like us.A good deal......... depends on the ARV and trends in that area (comps) I don't know any markets in Illinois but nationally in compact areas if you can still get it bought 25-30% below the comps then that seems to be good.
