I'd probably consider either lowering the price if you're not getting any activity at all, or just wait it out as it could just be a slow time of year for home buyers since we're right in the middle of the holiday season. 

Note I do have the ability to meet 20% down on an average 300k property in my area Burlington, VT.Thanks and happy holidays to everyone in advance,

You really can't be "too strict" when screening, but you definitely don't want to be too relaxed.

Aloha and Happy Holidays!

When things slow down and I have 400k to 500k passively coming in I can then do just a few deals a year with reduced deal flow and a couple of syndications and relax in a worst case scenario.

I said rent is what it is, that we didn't have an agreement to take anything off, however, I am willing to give him a gift card as a happy holidays/thank you.

Please let me know if you have any questions about the home buying process or would like any good, local referrals for investor-friendly agents as you get started.Happy holidays,Jennifer Han 

I have ordered a few books that were suggested by BP to read over the holidays so my thoughts might change. 

I think maybe after the holidays all of us in Des Moines meet for a lunch or just over beers and see if we can help each other a little.

Hello BP,The holiday season is upon us and before i could celebrate I would like to get some deals done.I am looking for 4 plex in the the Connecticut market.
