If you were to think like Warren Buffett, this would be the time to Sell and wait for the next bottom in the RE Cycle to Buy at a natural discount instead of searching for a Deal.

I wasn't this to be natural bit any tips you can give me.

Sorry, don't want to highjack the OP thread and question, but the ruuuurrrralll (as @Brandon Turner put it) nature of buy/holds is a nut that I don't think I have ever heard really answered. 

You are asking a stranger to lend you basically all the money for a deal with no experience and no skin in the game. 

@Libbie Grant Welcome to the wonderful world of real estate investing where there are a million ways to skin the cat, all depending on your goals.My family has been in the Mount Vernon area for 20+ years now, so that's my farm area, while Anacortes is my place of work and hopefully live soon.

IMHO, getting skin in the game by investing time and money in a property will force you to learn. 

I know that might be a bit of a stretch but I have excellent credit and am willing to put skin in the game.

Naturally a month after the exchange expired, I found a decent property I am closing on now.  

There are many ways to find motivated sellers - you have to think creatively...there's more than one way to skin a cat!

Understand, most brokers are getting only 10-30% of the commission to their firms, which is just the nature of the business these days.
