Time to contemplate the next move!!!!

MFR contemplation has also been haunting me.

There are numerous risks to homeowners who contemplate a short sale and you should always encourage them to speak with an attorney or accountant.There are far to many things to cover that could go wrong, but at least you're checking it out NOW before you start which is good.

J Scott, I would contemplate either just referring them to the vacancy owner, expecting to benefit when we buy, or, possibly managing just the placement on the owner's behalf, again, expecting to benefit at close.I should add that the seller is literally a little old lady who just wants out and I'm pretty sure would let me do anything ethical that I wanted to.

I have been contemplating that avenue of approach, but still researching the pros and cons.  

I have contemplated investing out-of-state however, most people I've spoken to don't recommend purchasing a single family income property outside of where I'm living or i.e. too far away that I wouldn't be able to drive to it in a short period of time. 

I'm even contemplating a live/work space as an option as well.

My good friend and I have been contemplating on investment ideas for a while and are both getting into this at the same time. 

I am looking into investing in Canada and am contemplating on a turnkey investment as well.  

specially the tip at the end if they pay attention to detail, I have contemplating getting a VA.
