Thanks Mark, I appreciate the words of encouragement. 

Hey @David Caddy, I understand your frustration, and that's why I encourage beginners to set realistic expectations from day one.

He openly teaches and encourages his students to buy properties off the MLS at full price, using “Subject To”.

While I'd encourage anybody to invest in the Costa del Sol, I'd never suggest they could get the returns we're going to have, as that's simply not realistic.

Hopefully, with some patience and creativity you can convince/encourage them to do the right thing and meet you in the middle.

Primarily @Alan Asriants, I'd encourage you to look at Kellogg, Idaho.
