Quote from @David Dachtera: @Jane Z.

David,  I personally would not want to invest in a property where the buyer comes with the deal.

Quote from @David Peskind: Never heard of him.

Reading David Sinclair's book Lifespan has made me think.

@David Kirkpatrick hmmm... here are the problems I see with this scenario (and that you need to remedy).

Quote from @David M.M.: @Candi KhamYou looking to use real estate as a tax shelter? 

I also wanted to add this book from David Greene for long distance real estate investing given that your focus is on mulifamily properties in both CT and FL:Long-Distance Real Estate Investing | Out-of-State Investing Book – BiggerPockets Bookstore

Following David Green's Core 4 strategy (realtor, contractor, property manager, and lender) gives confidence to invest anywhere.

Hello David, It sounds like you are in a great scenario where you have built a solid portfolio!

@David VaughnIn general I agree with what you have said however I have had this happen......house sitting for 6 mo, make an offer at asking, be told there is a new interested party, not adjust my offer because I think they are blowing smoke, loose the deal because there was another offer.I think it is common place for agents or wholesalers to re engage tire kickers when they get an offer.At the end of the day I tend to offer what I am willing to pay no more no less.
