FHA is a huge pain in such a competitive market but I'm being patient :)

., you shouldn't need to find patient Buyers, because you won't need to bring it to them until it's a done deal with the Bank (relying on your skills at knowing what your Buyers will want).

It's slow and steady, but the rental income (if you can be patient) is worth it.

Trying to stay patient, it seems like a lot of small multifamily homes (2-4 units) barely cash flow to cover the mortgage, especially with 0 down and trying to stay in a decent area.  

The property manager would be instructed to treat the dental practice as a tenant and not the property owner so that any issues with the apartment tenants would not spill over onto the practice or your patients.

Luckily the seller was very patient.  

Plus you get other tax benefits of having such a big property.Again, it all depends on how well you buy, but I can afford to be patient and wait for the right deal.

You can't go treat patients because you want to earn doctors wages, why do you think you can go do a contractors job with no experience?

I know it's tough sometimes to be patient,  but I bet your next quality applicant is just around the corner if you're priced right @Shannon Sadik! 

But if people want to hear of positive experiences with realtors, I'm very happy to say the very first realtor I met not only patiently lead me through my first four transactions (which all went smoothly), but became a friend as well.
