Maybe time the trip to line up with some local REIA meetings and see what other local investors think about price, timing, etc.?

At that time, I was balancing a new family and trying to make ends meet.

We meet every month, and are in constant contact with these individuals, in business relationships going a lot deeper than that.The second way is to contact a large group of people with the understanding that only a few will result in “deals”.  

Not everyone meets that criteria but there are lots of us investors that are experienced investors with 6 figures to invest who are close to 'accredited' status

The tenant is almost an adversary before they even meet.

However, my hold up is what market to look at that will help me meet my goals.

Go to Omaha and Sioux city tomorrow for inspections and client meets. 3. close new loan with my bank unsecured ( those babys can be tough to get).4. get my mind ready for 9 grandkids at the house this is the toughest one :)  Patience 5. firm up goals for 25 solidify my new clients that I have gotten in Q 4 24.

That basically meets the 1% rule.

One other possibility to prepare for is that the court may ask the two of you to meet with a mediator prior to the judge hearing the case.

It allows you to live in a home that meets your needs while offsetting mortgage expenses.
