Thanks for the advice John.The local market rents are pretty strong, there is an Air Force base close by that gives slot of off base renters.It would rent for 1250 to 1300.I have about $10,000 I could use for earnest money, I just hate to use cash if I can do it another way.But I realize you have to spend money sometimes to make it.

They can screw the pooch all the time as long as they keep filling up the conference slots.  

Charles,We've had the 9am slot for about a month.

I don't know if Zillow is the one that does this but some of those sites have"pay to play" slots where it's not actually the listing agent but another agent thrown in the contact section.

@Jay HinrichsThere's a couple of different answers to your question about the 10 loan max.Based on strictly looking at the number, and assuming I want to continue to add more than 10 properties:1a - I just use partners that have the credit I need...and the open loan slots available.1b - I also can sell off a % of my ownership.  

So a little background on this area...The Detroit Golf Club just scored a PGA Event (The National, Title sponsor is Rocket Mortgage) starting in Late June/ Early July 2019.Also, its pretty much local knowledge that The Detroit Grand Prix will align a week prior or after to the Golf Tournament (talks underway).Lastly, in 2020 The Auto Show is moving to June. 

Because there is a slot for earnest money amount on my P&S agreement. 

B/C title company have recording slots .. only way they can do it early is to request a special and it has to be truly a special circumstance before the county will let them come in and record at time other than their daily allotted time.Now we would be fubared in Wayne county  ( Detroit) takes that inept county 2 to 4 months to record anything   LOL>..

@Chris Clothier  posted his stats  on their company.. maybe you can find that post.Majority own 4 or less ( mortgage slots) however many own more than that.One of my vendors in another market has one client that bought 60 plus homes from them.. although he is fully engagedlast time I was on a vendor trip and in their office this guy was there working with maintenance teams and PMs.. usually financing is the hold back to larger portfolios.
