I would not have gotten this far without it.Currently on the tail end of my first Re-Hab project which should be wrapped up within the next couple of months.

The 10 ft section was heavier than it should have been , there were white tail mice , panty hose ,a bunch of legos  and cooking grease and a ring with a diamond .  

I'm not sure what the tail end of your "still find SFR's for..." question is, so I'll attempt to finish it a few ways. ...below market value - yes, but with a severely limited inventory (supply), we are in a strong seller's market which drives up prices (demand) and, there you have it.

Unfortunately, I was just a teenager during the 80s and I only caught the tail end of that buying opportunity when I started buying in the early 90s.I highly recommend @Dave Van Horn's podcast here on BP and his website! 

It won't see through Head lights and tail lights.

Your broker/originator needs to be able to go to bat for you and defend your deal as being a good loan, not just get tied up in the mess of requests and have a tail between their legs just going along.

With a portfolio of well purchased rentals and a few long term notes, I have essentially captured the tiger by the tail.

I don't know a lot about this because i only caught the tail end of it getting my son ready.

I can make this simple so that everyone understands.If a broker/agent works with an investor they all have different buying criteria.You can work your tail off to find a property only to get beat out by another buyer in a multiple offer situation.Just because it is not on the MLS does not mean you will not have other bidders for the property.I control the property or either list it for the seller.This way if we get 10 offers I STILL GET PAID.I don't have to start the process all over again with a buyer because they lost out on that one and I made nothing on the deal and have to find another needle in a hay stack.I control the inventory then I make the rules.It really is that simple.

Ben, I really believe you want to do things right, while you might have mentioned me just to ruffle tail feathers saying he says this and you say that, I'm not going there.
