I think your post implies that the seasoned vets are hiding some "SECRET".

If there are no buyers out there then either the marketing has been bad or the values are lower than the 1 comp implies.

Or the short sale amount plus costs is greater money to the bank compared to an auction and all the costs/delays that implies.

TimedReality ,I think you are chasing a dead end.NNN does not imply you can avoid vacancies.

"Inflation" just as the word implies, is the inflating of the currency, period.

This implies a business loan if it is being financed.

@Tim NorrisOn your post about Sub2 and insurance, it seemed to imply that I would not be living in the unit, but merely be a "landlord".

You will see wording like this in the statements: "The Buyers and Sellers nor their Agents have any agreements written or implied that will allow the Seller to remain in the property as renters or regain ownership of said property at any time after the execution of this short sale transaction.

In the two hour teaser seminar they claimed that I would learn the methods to make money in real estate, which they did, even though the information was somewhat broad.However, I think if the trainer would have spent less time yelling at us about how dumb we are and how much smarter he was, I might have gotten more out of the weekend.That is not to say that I didn’t learn anything, I actually learned a great deal, others around me did not share in that opinion.The bottom line is that after the three day seminar I think I could stumble my way through some of the real estate vehicles they covered but I would make a lot of mistakes.

Having no money ususally implies there isn't an underlying business plan That would tell me, or anyone you may supposedly partner for money there's no planning taking place.
