(We only accept money on a payment plan with a healthy percent down and a written payment plan...if they miss the payment plan, or if I'm particularly suspicious of them not paying, I will post the 3 day early to expire on the day the payment is due).So to conclude you can present 3-days as many times as you wish (in my experience, consult your attorney before you declare Andrew R Fidler the Ohio Real Estate Broker is practicing law)  - each time you accept money you negate the prior efforts and start over.

@DeWayne Mann - in full disclosure here are the groups focused on fighting the lead ordinance...landlords in Toledo have banded together and filed a lawsuit to fight the ordinance (those that haven't invested in becoming a lead inspector to profit from the ordinance).Adam and I have been respectfully polar on the topic.The lawsuit should be concluded this coming month, I personally will be thrilled when it's resolved one way or the other.Here is the current status of the Toledo Lead Ordinance lawsuit: (we should be done with each side mailing letters to the judge, I believe we have about 500 pages total between the sides)http://lcapps.co.lucas.oh.us/onlinedockets/Docket....Here's the link to download the latest reading material...each side is playing debate team with them arguing their side in the letters.

Hey mate,The US market is a different world compared to back home.After 500+ deals under my belt, millions in profit and losses I have concluded that "business is easy and people make it difficult" lolThe real estate professionals here in the US sometimes tend to be very unprofessional unlike in Australia.It's more regulated there especially when it comes to property management.My best tip would be to take your time and don't jump in.There is no rush and the US is full of deals.Spend the time in doing due diligence more so on the people that you are looking at working with rather than the stats/demographics of a particular area.I wish you much success 

Ultimately I couldn't agree with you more about your concluding statement, being secure and smart with your investments.How did you go from that story to being an active investor?

You've had a professional company conclude that it is not the pipes, but the amount of toilet paper.2.

"comfortable".The Rich have long known about and utilized 1031 Exchanging as a very effective real estate wealth building strategy and lifetime income producing Tax Tool.I will conclude with a quote from a famous American Judge, Learned hand."

To conclude, I'd say vehemently go after your dream but put a time stamp on it—if this doesn't work by 20XX, then I will start buying multifamily properties instead. 

Never heard of Tranio until now, but their partners are very limited and after browsing I would have to conclude not at all aimed at investors. 

We had a contractor come in and checkout the gracefully aged building, who concluded that our foundation was verysturdy and minor gaps overtime were normal.

I like your mindset that it could be a learning opportunity but before you conclude that make sure that you in fact did miss your EM window.
