We don't sucker people into "handcuff" agreements.

Hey Rhonda,Your best bet for finding in-person meetups is probably checking MeetUp.com for local real estate investing events.

Do you want your son to bet the financial outcome of his 20s on this seller's ability to make good choices? 

We have even first-responder equipment ready (carpet fans, dehumidifier, puddle sucker pump etc) to deal with the issue quickly and curb the damage, before we get the contractors in to do the repairs.

If it's more complicated eviction.com may be your best bet to use they are pretty cost effective.

It's pretty easy to get suckered into a bad out of state deal because others want to make a quick buck, and you'll be left holding the bag. 

If not, hard money is probably your best bet

Your best bet is to find and contact all of the top local wholesalers and go to work for one of them and see what they do right and wrong and see if it's even a business you like.

We do want to settle in a little bit here while continuing to do our homework, but hope to get into something in the next 6-12 months.With the way interest rates are looking now and what little I see on public listings, I think a smaller multi-family that needs a little rehab would be the best bet. 

Sorry to be so harsh, but she sounds like a scammer and you sound like a sucker.
