He set up laser "trips" that would trigger them.

@Elliot Smith - Congratulations to you and your wife with the recent closures.Now, with your wife quitting her W-2 soon, there will be laser focus on other acquisitions.Keep the BP community posted with your REI actions and successes.

(wife would use a little more she has hair.

My dad was a landlord in NYC and all his grey hairs are from that.

From what people report here on BP, the numbers look great for cash flow but turnover, crime, evictions, etc. eat your profits and make your hair fall out.  

He has short black hair.

Thank you , i thought this was good information and when i heard  my hair stood up.

Because I'm trying hard but my family knows how far my hair brained ideas go and they don't think I will get anywhere with this.

So for those reasons, which I think are fairly sizable, I suggest you see if you can have them go find a private lender themselves and get it out of your hair.  

If not, save your time and hair loss for programs like NACA for when you're well funded and have all the time in the world.Also be mindful that whatever agreements (rents, option to buy) and payments your buyers make to you now will muck up their paperwork and financial picture for loan approval.
