They're not my counselor or my spiritual adviser; I'm fairly certain that most people I do business with have plenty of their own problems without having to "figure out" how to help a virtual stranger figure out their money problems. 

In my mind you have amplified the problem from 1 stranger to many.

Get yourself comfortable talking to people who are selling their homes, get comfortable asking questions about a home and building a rapport with a complete stranger.

Don't partner with strangers on the other side of the world.2. 10k is more than enough to flip a house. i.e.

I’ve had people turn me down on $300k deals because I wasn’t experience enough but closed $700k deals with strangers who trusted me.3)Don’t be intimidated by larger price points and “luxury” clients.

I've been reading that the management of the HOA usually takes place when 51% of units are sold.How am I supposed to trust a bunch of strangers to make competent managers, treasurers, etc.? 

It all sounds too good to be true, but I'm not there and I've seen stranger things in Pgh neighborhoods like this that ARE true.

@Patrick GantRent back strategies sound great and can look great on paper, but think about the fact that if they are 4 months behind on their own house they own.... why would that become a different outcome when they are to pay rent to a stranger..?

Strangers rarely lend you money, it is relatives, friends for short term or bridge loan.

Cash - A stranger showed me compassion unlike any other.
