I wouldn't mail right up to the last few days before, because you will likely spin your wheels alot with no success.

So, if you're paying 15% interest on the hard money, just realize you're going to be paying that for a while.A rental property that spins off $100/month in REAL cash flow is a pretty good deal.

I suggest you do some research in financing RE, that's the key to doing deals and you won't be spinning your wheels.

Not only does the earth spin on it's axis and orbit the sun, it also wobbles and wiggles, vibrates and hums.

Yea my bad, meant to say it's a spin off of the Canadian version.

Toward the end of the conversation I come clean and admit who I am to the perspective landlord and spin the conversation to see if he's interested in selling.

Setting up a system can't possibly be this freakin' hard - yet I feel like I'm spinning my wheels.

He also has so many creative financing techniques, it made my head spin.

I was taught that if the tenant/buyers don't buy, your reputation goes down the toilet, and your business always follows your reputation.With regard to the 2 year financing approval, only problem I see with that is the fact that the housing market is still spinning downward (at least in my markets) and 24 months is too long.

Thanks for putting a different spin on it.
