I also believe that you should grit your teeth together, walk back into the office and give them hell!

@Steve Vaughan   Steve from the lenders perspective its like pulling teeth to get people to the point.So I use an air traffic controllers com tactics.. when he knows your off your heading and maybe head straight for Mt.

Cutting your teeth on a dozen single family homes is a good place to start.  

I don't think I'll be making any 5+ unit buys any time soon, I want to cut my teeth on SFR or maybe a duplex to get my initial learning in.

Most lenders will not touch fractured condos regardless of the cash flow.From your post, my first move after acquisition and lease-up would likely be to give the condo association some teeth against tenants not paying their share.

Now there are almost no foreclosures whatsoever in the multi-family market, and for the most part it seems like owners are hanging onto what they've got.I have an investor spreadsheet I share.  

I've also been told that there are no desk fees, franchise fees, transaction fees or any other monthly or transaction related cost whatsoever.

We just bought a new house for ourselves, still trying to sell the old house, going to a wedding in S Korea in less than 3 weeks, it seems there is always something...Right now we are just hoping to find a deal that we can really sink our teeth into and pull the trigger on.  

That once you are fine with driving by all the no trespassing signs you will be prosecuted and no soliciting signs that are so abundantly posted im sure Helen Keller could even see. however the all ages parks that i have visited seem to be open to selling trailers as long as you dont mind talking to home owners with missing teeth from possible past drug use and that you make sure your car is locked before you go inside. 

I dont want to make much of a downpayment whatsoever and I'd like to keep my rate low.
