Hello All,I have been getting into real estate the past few months, started out posting yellow signs every weekend for 6 months, and have also been sending out yellow letters for the past 6 months, around 1000 / month.I've gotten really close to closing on a triplex at a great price, however it ended up falling through.I'm 27, currently work full time as a mechanical engineer, however I would like to quit my job and devote my time to going back to school and medical issues with my shoulder (rehab takes a few hours a day), while working part time.I was planning on helping a seasoned investor I know with his property management.

I'm kinda shocked you would sign your name for $80k and walk away and shrug your shoulders.

At the end of the day, said entity will profit by having the loans they picked up at a discount refinanced by a govt insured agency (FHA, Fannie, etc) and dumped back onto the shoulders of the taxpayer.
