Want to bounce some ideas off of you if your interested.

If that check bounces because they are deadbeats, then YOU are stuck with paying to find that out; better for that to be an expense of the deadbeat paid in CASH.Originally posted by Aly L:...I have a scented candle burning before they arrive, ...

Some areas over-corrected and have seen a nice bounce.

If your waiting for the market to bounce back to 2005 prices, you could be waiting awhile.

I bounce these houses off of Realtor.com, looking at houses for sale in a .5 mile radius.

When we used to get the rent closer to the due date the checks would bounce...but we'd get the late fee and the returned check fee.

Time frame is 3 yearsExit Strategy 2:If area continues to boom due to bounce in the economy, keep the property and the business, after apartment upgrades then refinance loan to a more stable rate.

short term, i wouldn't mind bouncing around every year or so...long term, more lower interest loans for rentals...then do we have a problem???

I feel your pain guy..Hang in there..I think Eddie is right on the money about the focus..This business requires a laser like focus and it's really easy to get swayed when things don't happen as fast as you're expecting them to.I came charging out of the gate all excited after taking a bunch of expensive guru course's on wholesaling(i'm too embarrassed to say how much I've spent on them) and quickly realized it's not so easy (here in So-cal anyway),then I started bouncing all over and now I'm back at square one,but I know lots more than I did before and now I can use all that frustration and disappointment to design a better, more focused, more appropriate business plan..Without that it's like driving without a map..who knows where you'll end up...Jason has been very helpful to me with advice as have a quite few others on here and at local REI meetings..I highly doubt there are too many successful people who weren't in your shoes at one point and almost gave up..but they didn't.. and that's why they are where they are now...Find your niche ASAP and work it...work it..work it..One day you will find yourself where you want to be..someone out there needs help..you can be the one who helps them...there is a forum post on Motivation quotes on BP..Have a read through them when you're doubting yourself..this was one of them."

It still happens to me, and having someone to bounce ideas off of makes a huge difference.
