ben, i was not thinking of a larger/multi property. i was thinking in the box - low balling the next house since i would be paying cash for it (use the 70k of it for asking of around 85k).but that's a great idea. the only issue i see is that ~4plex is around $250k and i will have just enough for the downpayment. anything larger than a 6 would be commercial and they want 40% down, right?

Anyone who will call a contractor to adjust a toilet floaty ball is not okay with me.I also like individuals, I can't stand property management companies.

It's also good to speak to sellers if you can to get a meeting of the minds before going to much trouble, especially if you're making low ball offers. :)

But..how do you relate this to a seller who is trying to sell their property and not feel like they're being "low balled" by a lower than expected offer?

I think it's amazing that a guy like me that has no business being successful (as I never really had that role model to show me the ropes) can find not only the information, but experiences of other professionals, the finesse to get it done right, and the balls to be persistent...excuse my French!
