Also, a lot of bigger banks have some REO's listed on their websites, but they hold back a ton of inventory called "Shadow Inventory."

I believe it is finally for me to stop hiding behind the shadows and introduce myself.

I guess what I really would like though is someone to shadow for a bit. 

Consider the effects of color  - dark will darken the room even though it looks classy and, if it gets nicks, the scratches will show the nicks more than a light color (same thing for cabinets). 

Taking a shot in the dark before I read any comments, to see where my own head is at regarding investor psychology.With the 1 unit already rented, it looks like your coming out of pocket $1,150/month.Plus $1,400 in SL and Car NoteYou have $20k in free cash that's not currently earning anything, but has the potential to earn $1,300/month or $15,600/year.That would mean your RR on the $20k would be 78% if you do the necessary upgrades to rent the 3rd unit.The $1,300/month also means you'd be living rent free with a cash flow of $150/month.

I guess you can say that I have trouble selling ourselves to the customer, I'm trying to learn by shadowing my contractors when they're speaking to them.

But Hello, as I come out of the shadows and get more involved in the forums.

Do a light/dark with chair rail and wainscoting.

I would be happy to help analyze deals (I recently built an easy to use excel model, which I'm happy to share) in exchange for meeting to discuss your business or to shadow investors as they meet with brokers, manage property (tenant walkthroughs, rent collection, repair supervision, eviction, etc.), negotiations, and closings.
