Complaining that a degree didn't magically get you a job is like complaining that a Faberge egg doesn't have any chocolate in it.You Must Act Now!

I often have to pinch myself.  

Easy to manage rehab, but Financial pinch during the rehab.2) Staggered: Make one unit vacant at a time, rehab and rent at higher rates.

I have access about 10% of the deal in cash but would need to do the other 90% with a (hopefully traditional) mortgage + a healthy HELOC that would still have reserves if I get into a pinch. 

They're at a point in their life where they're in a pinch due to a life-changing experience, numerous bad decisions etc.

You'd be amazed how many people own a home they've either inherited or gotten themselves into a pinch and are motivated to sell with negotiable terms.  

That way you can have confidence that your properties are utilized to the maximum cash flow.PM's are like a box of chocolates, you bite into one and  you never know what you're going to get.

It also came with a delicious chocolate chip cookie, and a bag of chips.

I'd ask for manager's name and then call the store/restaurant and talk to manager on duty.I would not rent to them unless they can each squeak out the rent individually in a pinch if the room-mate situation doesn't work out.

@Richard Xyminies It's like a box fo chocolates, you never knwo what you're goign to get.
