Once I hit my target rental number, I'll pay off all the mortgages and get fat.  

When the adjuster went in he said it was the worst he had seen in his 12 years. and I got a big fat check..

I found a 12 unit that I am interested in, but am unsure about running it myself, so I contacted 5 local firms by email, 2 of the big local names included...only one response, and it turns out he's a BP member.Lotsa fat wallets out there...RE must be the place to be, there's so much money coming in that there's no need to answer emails or call anyone back...hmph...

I'm in escrow on a REO that initially requested (and received) Cash Offers onlyDeal directly with the Listing AgentPut a fat deposit downBeat the Cash Offer by a meaningful amountBe willing to release Financing/Inspection contingencies on a short time-frameBe ready with proof of funds, credit, pre-approvals etcWork with a lender who you know can performSay on top of third party timelines (ordering an appraisal, Prelim, getting loan approval, etc)

so correction/stablization good thing.. big ole fat crash I dont see it. and if prices start to drop investors will stop the loss much quicker than what happened in 08 to 2011 is my thought ???

HELOC funds can make it a cash purchase, or those HELOC funds can be a big fat 25% down payment paired with a traditional mortgage for 75%.

Times will be tough, time to trim the fat.

They spend 11 minutes listening to conversations about text messages, "he said", "The place looked worse when I moved in", "My dog didn't mean to chew up the molding", "The neighbor called me fat", "That carpet was nasty", "My mom was sick so I couldn't pay because her dog needed attention", "He said the grass was soft".

Unfortunately it was all a big fat lie..

I too am mostly interested in only my local market for rehab flip opportunities and they have to be fat spreads with exit values above $300k.
