I would love some true statistics on how often a meaningful modification is the result of all the homeowners' phone calls and begging to the banks and Project Hope.

You will really learn a lot.And to suck up to Brandon Turner and Joshua Dorkin just a tad, they keep it light and just the right amount of humurous- all while extracting tons of great info from their guests.

None are great deals, though, because there are other parties extracting some of the profit out of the deal.

Even with wholesaling you need a decent budget to do anything meaningful. 

I have always been wanting to get into the game but I let various reasons stop me from doing anything meaningful (even after spending thousands to learn).

They should be able to provide you with meaningful support for the plan you have with them.  

@John Reynolds  Hard to add anymore meaningful comments, but I hope you can see from all the other responses that people in the HFF community are very serious and very committed to making real progress. 

It's an all cash deal and we chose to use Seller's title, so all we had to do is wait for the title to be cleared.The seller's closing agent (let's call her MDM) started to follow up on this case with only two days left before the closing date (7/20/2018), which is too late to do any meaningful title work.

I would extract myself from this situation in whatever way I need to in order to get the tenants cool and cut my losses.Then I would proceed by finding a reputable HVAC contractor who does good work at reasonable prices, but understand that good work has costs.

I don't get it much eaiser ways to make money than buying a couple rentals that just barely make any money and never really go up in value.in reality you will lose money big time at the exit if they don't appreciate in a meaningful way over time.
