@Jay Hinrichsundefined some markets are just too hot and have too big of players chasing what little land there is and if your going to get anything you have to close..

Another advice I have been given is "just be a good landlord" but that doesn't protect me against crazy tenants and ambulance chasing lawyers who would be happy to destroy my life. 

From what I’ve seen, a lot of the bigger banks like Chase or Wells fargo tend to shy away from offering lines of credit backed by whole life policies.

You may also want to set some keywords around "agent" and "lender" for that market to get to know who the players are in the space that are involved in the community. 

I am always on the mindset to have the buyers chase my price up not the buyer go to my price I list at...

Like a veteran RE agent/broker you put in your 10 years and if you make it that far your going to get a lot of bizz just by referral without spending money constantly chasing the next deal.. wholesalers are constantly on the Hamster wheel..

Otherwise I would have been chasing the market.

Every year off season I get a baseball player to comes to stay to be close to his son.

She has a semi pro baseball player for the summer, and another contract worker.

First, JP Morgan & Chase hit me with a foreclosure lawsuit and named almost anyone in this suit, State of Florida, construction company, the elections.
