I am looking to meet with people with the same hungry appetite for success and growth and who are willing to share with me their experiences of their investment journeys. 

3) Since the deed has not been drafted/sent, can I rescind this transaction, as I won't have the appetite if this turns out to be a long drawn out court drama?

Not long ago, there was no such thing as dscr loans, rates were only moderately suppressed at times, and much real estate was undervalued-(affordability-wise) still equalizing from the downturn, oh, and we didn't have a global situation which caused widespread disruption and general concern.

What is your appetite for rehab?

job reports are a lagging, not leading indicator. by the time you see massive layoffs, **** had already hit the fan. job was not lagging in 2008.during GFC 2008 we have all fundamental indicators agree there was a recession: massive layoffs, the layoff is faster than case-shiller ; S&P EPS is dropping, we have vix at all-time high, all stock market index dropping hard. currently we don't even have that problem, the bond is recovering, the vulnerable tech stock is even recovering even when Fed is dumping $350 bil this month. it seems the appetite from foreign investors to invest in the US is coming back and that saves the market.

Having passive income may be a great way to kick you off to achieving financial freedom and ultimately leaving your day job.Depending on your risk appetite you can invest in ground-up developments (high ROI but higher risk), or in a cashflowing Multi family deals (stabilized lower ROI, less risk). 

Investing in real estate carries some level of risk, so it's important to understand your own appetite for risk and choose investments that align with your risk profile.It's also a good idea to do some research on the local real estate market in the area where you're interested in investing.

Depends on your investment goals/objectives, risk appetite & whether you wish to be active/passive.

I think it also depends if the particular bank has enough room in their lending bucket left (bank appetite) for commercial real estate and real estate backed assets (notes).

What you are suggesting is that they will push a lower offer (or suppress a higher offer) based on how much total commission they will earn (assuming the lower offer results in them getting both sides since that buyer went directly to the listing agent).
