Account Closed, I'm mostly browsing the MLS via Realtor, Trulia and Zillow.

If they cant sell it via traditional methods they will be more willing to negotiate with you.  

Since you're in Orlando, have you considered renting the rooms via airbnb (short term) instead of regular leases?

I am going to:-Find out the boundaries and block of territory I want to buy in.

Is there an over lap or confusion as who is getting what done and when?

These books teach you how to handle situations, how to find solutions based on your value system, set clear boundaries with people and overall understanding people's motivations and why they do what they do (which is extremely helpful in any interactions with people).

I have a property in Belleville, NJ that I am acquiring via short sale. 

(Because, THAT'S what Brrrr is all about).My original point was: however much cash your Dad has, if HE can't fund the remainder via a Lender - then neither would you be likely to! 

It would be great to speak with you via PM.

You can also invest in larger apartments via syndications if you're an accredited investor.
