I own a couple of mixed use buildings in Western Wisconsin and would be happy to chat about my experience. 

. $5,000 was not an amount of money they readily had, and they requested I allow them a couple of months to gather the funds so their kids could have a Christmas.

I went went through some "odd" experiences with a couple of other PMs in Cleveland and after firing them I ended up with AllStar Management, which is who he is with.

Will hopefully revisit in a couple weeks when I have better clarity from the folks.

Probably smart to take a break a couple of years of this market, I think you are coming back at exactly the right time - on the cusp of the next boom market

Hi David, Some people honestly do not like jumping through hoops just to go see a property or entertain offers as it just becomes a headache to gather stuff.On the other hand, if its a luxury property or something worth a couple million, wasting time on non qualified borrowers is something to also consider.What is the listed price for this property?

Another afternoon, at the Maryvale court, a teenage couple and one of their mothers discussed strategy in the hallway, fussing over a thick stack of documents.

Hide you money, drugs and valuables off site.If you do your own opens, do it for a couple of weekends.Once you have someone interested, you fill out a purchase & sale agreement, collect an EMD, open escrow, order title, verify ability to close with the buyer's lender.

I do owe a monthly mortgage payment on a couple of them and have one that is free and clear.

A local handyman would fit that bill, and perhaps a couple who could shop for and bring in the consumables.
