I seek out off market properties that are in the areas where I want to invest, and I’m generally told “no” multiple times before we get to “yes.”   

There was this one time where it seems a toy clogged the drain line and I had a hard time making tenant responsible for repair.

My husband and I had toyed with the idea of experimenting with real estate investing for a number of years.

Now when I see sharpie drawings on new front doors, piles of crap and toys on freshly poured back patios, filthy appliances...I just roll my eyes and go about my business.

So I toyed around with how the notes would have to be structured to get the same dollar amount out of them as a 7 year 15% fully amortized note which was our go to terms.. its turned out that 30 months Zero interest had the exact same PV value as a 7 year 15%.. so my Saudi's went for it and I sold a bunch of those to them and their relatives and other friends of theirs that i got referrals to..

We returned to her some mementos, clothing, and the kids favorite toys.

right now we are toying with just flipping it.

Each subtotal leads me to yes, no, or maybe. 

I want to buy the Dodge Demon ..........Wife says I have too many toys already

However this is also my first deal and I am a little emotionally attached to the property now because it has a yard and a garage for me to store all my tools and toys.
