All 17 or however many sellers want to sell, and we've agreed on terms for seller financing, but the problem is no one cannot get in touch with the last reminding person.

Is your $15k even enough of an emergency fund for you personally?  

He knew the person selling this property and asked if we were interested.

Hopefully they do or your personal insurance covers them.

My personal opinion is that any time is the right time to invest if you can find opportunities that meet your Return on Investment goals.

I have not personally tried the Wire feature though.I am an Accountant and use it and refer my clients to it as well, connect with me and I will look to see what the costs are to send a wire, they do allow free check and ACH payments if timing is not a factor.I had a client who used Titan, and as an Accountant I did not like it.

I am not an insurance agent, but I would be curious to hear from someone in the field who could explain how this would have played out differently had the properties been in an LLC and not a personal name.

For finding my first properties, word of mouth and local networking worked well, plus reaching out to hosts on Airbnb with personalized messages.When pitching, focus on how you’ll add value (like boosting reviews or optimizing pricing) and avoid coming off too salesy.

Don't waste your time convincing them otherwise, just find a pool person that is willing to do it.

I'm only one person.
