When i quit I was making a fat paycheck running a 5 state sales territory for a large specialty manufacturing company. 

Many folks lost many many million so dollars investing in that city .. so you get painted with that brush unfortunately.. so that's why you need your local HML like me with a little pot belly my big cigar and I take a liking to you.. that's how it works

got it same thing goes though you don't hand over the keys to the castle until you have your dough.. you are learning this one now.and you are also learning that signing docs does not mean anything if the money does not follow.good luck with it.. and you will get over it... good luckAnd yes with commercial you want to think the buyers are more professional for sure.but its not over till the fat lady sings and you have wired funds into escrow.

For example if you were very overweight, you may crack some fat jokes about yourself.

That's the world of Commercial Lending - -Pro:- the CU is treating you as a professional - - not too common for CUsCon:- the ARM and refi Typically, these loans are  X years, Due in Y (implicitly coming due with a balloon payment.The X years sets  the amortization table and you refi at Y years;  eg 20/due in 5The propert(ies) are already vouching for you (hence Com Loan), so when the Y years arrives, you're refi'ing the balloon amount and it should be a cakewalk with the same CU unless the IMF, EU, & US Treasury all go belly-up.

Khirly Bell I would Recommend joining your Local REIA Club and get with a Mentor or Coach there are Levels to this have you checked the comps in the area have you seen the Inside of what this Property might need in Repairs.

This is crazy to me considering if you bought almost any resale property in 2011 you would be cashing in fat checks right now or even if you sold a few years ago in 2014.

Hi @Evan BellI have always tried to keep my business as simple as possible.

After all, I enjoy getting checks monthly - but it would nice to cash in a fat check once in while too.Question 2 - Networking is key to finding good deals - MLS can have some good deals periodically - but the best deals are going to come from a distressed situation that you find out about through word of mouth - and that means staying in front of your network and growing it so that you are exposed to new situations and opportunities.
