@John Jacobus that sounds fantastic.

I know @Cornelius Garland has a fantastic and very affordable skiptracing service.

OP, you sound like a fantastic realtor.  

Additionally, it is one of few systems that run 24 hours so it is also a fantastic option for enjoying Philadelphia restaurants and night life. 

I am using one of them right now and it is fantastic.

I had everything all set, but the investors I was working with were just too slow to move and I wasted so much time on some fantastic deals.

Hi @Carlos Sierra - It seems like you are definitely mentally ready to start tackling real estate - looking for a mentor is a fantastic next step.Just be careful that you set expectations correctly for yourself and for the mentor - most of the time that I've sought the advice of a mentor, they've directed me to some resource or material.In case you are interested - I wrote about my experience finding mentors in this "Ultimate Guide to Finding Incredible Mentors" - I hope that it helps you with your search!

Their marketing is fantastic and the last time I went to a 3 day event I took more notes on their marketing strategies.) ... the day continues... topics covered include how much money you will need to retire, how the financial collapse happened, personal stories including why they are in real estate, how they got in and why they are there to teach you, basic financing information ending usually with credit go home, call your credit card companies and get your limits increased! 

If you can get in 2 properties that break even at the end of your 5 year mortgage term your pay down and appreciation will be fantastic, versus a couple extra bucks you saved from paying the CMHC with 20 down.Do some homework first, if you can't qualify for a second property with your leftover down payment consider reducing the CMHC and interest with the full 20% down.
