I am grateful for all of the people who have taken the time to respond in regards to brainstorming on how this goal could be achieved and for the benefit of all of the knowledge of the different investors on this site.I have read many books on real estate in the past and was very disappointed that most authors were more interested in making money off books than teaching about real estate investing.

First time poster, but definitely not my first time on these forums and I am never disappointed with the wealth of content on here.

I'm thinking too, there is going to be someone very disappointed about the prize Super Bowl tickets, Josh hasn't gotten his loan request in yet and that needs to be done before there is any winner!

And I wasn't disappointed!  

It was disappointing to see the direction this thread took with the interaction between Chris and James, however I appreciate Jay taking the time to interject.I think James read more into Chris' program due to his statement: "The notion that someone can spend zero dollars and put in zero time because you have developed an automated process is pie in the sky."

It's disappointing to have lost it the way I did.  

It would be a major disappointment if I don't close on this deal because it is a great opportunity given the price and location.

If that's the case, I believe you will be extremely disappointed with your results. 

The funds take about 5 days to transfer which can be disappointing but the upside is you decide when the rent is due and it shows a status of the funds as it occurs.
