Loan Officer, Brave Mortgage called me and we started a refinance option to be able to hold the property and get out of the balloon payment.

@JD Martin agree 10,000%What I am surprised about is I had a call with someone in Austin today and in sw Florida and they both said things are awful and prices are dropping at high rates - curious don't hear as much chatter here about that as it could be an opportunity 

One thing to remember when you are getting into RE investing is to have your team of people or as Brandon Turner from the Bigger Pockets Podcast calls it your CORE 41.

Quote from @Andrew Swaim: hey everyone, I have a couple investment properties but i have never found a awesome discounted deal, the last BRRRR i did was just alright, i started using deal machine but all my cold calling is coming up empty, the wholesalers in my area have been sending out crap.

I'd like to take this time to schedule a brief call 02/17 at your earliest convenience to delve into more detail as far as how I can quickly analyze and find properties that meet a minimum cap rate.

Investors are cold calling, doing direct mailing campaigns, and networking.

THAT is a very critical requirement - hence the "loop hall" is called "Material Participation".

Nobody answered the phone, I called 5 times.

I contacted the hoa about fixing roof asap and also other owners nothing been done yet till today they keep giving fake promises. anyway, the tenant seems wanting to take advantage of the situation she called me once qnd said both her son and grandson slip and felt and she called ambulance and they are ok.

The wholesalers do all the leg work, pulling lists, cold calling, sending mailers and driving for dollars.
