Through basic networking and sharing my REI goals with most people I interact with, this deal fell in my lap because someone heard about the seller's situation and they thought I might be interested.

I am new to the group and I'm so glad we have this forum to ask questions and interact with other like-minded commercial real estate investors.

I have a few rules though#1 - I always have to meet and interact with the animal before approval.#2 - They have to be under 20 lbs.#3 - Any feces on the property has to be promptly picked up and removed.#4 - An extra pet deposit.and many times just as a courtesy to the other tenants in the complex I will take their comfort and happiness with the situation into account

A home is the anchor of our social structure, it provides security that effects social interactions of a community, economic activities are based in RE, schools are funded by RE, homes are where the sick rest, where children are secured and learn, where families stay together.

The money raise side of the business is a lot different than the development side of the business, but overall I think the folks I interact with to gate raises on all the sites have a pretty good grasp of both industries.  

Looking forward to interacting more with everyone here.

What was the final deciding factor that made you take that extraordinary leap of faith????

This appears to be a great place to start, look forward to interacting with other members and learning all i can here.

I never quite know how to interact at a meeting like that, but I don't want to make a bad first impression.

We would use our attorney for the documentation needed but don't really want them involved in interacting with the seller and not sure they would be the best person to guide the transaction.Would a title company provide this service?
