@Mark Gallagher  not really I got my Brokers RE license in MS.. and it was like taking a drivers test a little pamphlet show up at the state department..  13 total questions  I got 11 correct and there you go newly minted broker in MS.. now to be fair that was a reciprocal with my California brokers license .. someone starting from scratch has to take the federal part and I suspect the state of MS part is more than 13 questions.. but you know you play the hand your dealt.

I'm interested in wholesaling and buy and hold investments.I am originally from Medellin, Colombia (so of course I enjoy soccer) and recently decided to learn how to play the electric bass .... making very slow progress with that endeavor, but having fun with it.Look forward to meeting other investors in the area and learning about REI!!!!!

Now you can not time the market but it's clear that riding it down is not a game you want to play. The

After much of the discussion here, it seems that my decision is a business one and that is it, I don't think that anyone that has posted here would let someone screw them out of 120,000 to 150,000+(give the market 3 to 6 more months) and say, I decided to play the ethical card, even though the screw you card was played from the other side~ you would be a fool!

It drives me crazy but it is not changing and we have learned to play the game.We were actually high bidders in the 10th day and the the second was upset and scheduled to end after us, so we were loving it, then we were upset and that pushed the first back ending after the second again.This is probably the only time this situation will arise as it is very unique.My question really is why the hell did the owners not just sell???

They know how to play the system.3) Lease hold-over. 

I think inflation is inevitable with the current US fiscal policy, but that's a whole 'nother topic…Obviously, there will be a learning curve, but if you've got good cash reserves and steady income from DOD, working through unexpected issues shouldn't be to difficult if you've got a good team in place and play the numbers a little conservative on your first deal or two.I can't offer any advice as to FHA vs VA, just crunch all the numbers for the different financing options against your desired ROI and funds available and it should be pretty obvious which way to go.  

I'm brand new with no investments yet but wanting to play the market correctly to try and avoid catastrophe early on in my investing career.

I'm not sure that would get the deal done however and if it goes to another round, I don't want to play the card that we have or would 350K.

People can make opinions for both strategies.I am not an investor for low income properties no matter the reasoning.The attorney from what the original poster was saying sounds risk adverse as an investor and wants to play the long game.
