I thought if I somehow magically transformed myself into a type-A personality, I'd achieve all the goals I had for myself.

Obviously this is for people who’re genuinely facing loss of incomeBUT this post is about what happens after you get on forbearance.

Who knows, maybe I'll go down that road again in the future.I would be genuinely curious who wholesalers (new or old) react if someone (i.e. a potential buyer) tells them that their ARV, rehab cost, or projected post-rehab rent values are materially skewed. 

I have an 18-unit in Cleveland.Pretty much stabilizing for this first year, getting rid of inherited deadbeat tenants etcI have gone to Cleveland twice since acquiring the asset in September 2017:once during initial due diligence and I just came back from walking all units again with my PM last week.Wouldn't have it another way.Much less involved in it compared to my local Jacksonville buildings as my PM as been awesome in communicating.Oh by the way,I read this recent article on BP condemning Cleveland and Memphis to the bottom of some list of "6 cities"...I have no idea why people make these sweeping generalizations based on some graphic or data.It's like a girl saying to herself:"most men cheats I'll never fall in love".It's easy to write an article or create a spreadsheet while drinking beer in your man cave.I just returned from a week of walking the streets of Cleveland taking in the billions of $ in new investment in the downtown area and east of the Flats where an unbelievable transformation has happened since I last lived there in 2011.Vacancies are down, rents are rising.Yet some guy who's never actually been to Cleveland sits somewhere in LA and writes articles about how net immigration in Cleveland is negative etc.Hilarious.

I could tell he was genuinely interested in helping me get started.

I know there are some members on BO whom are paid by prompting those companies, but please only respond, if you have genuine personal experience both positive or negative.

I PROMISE you this.NOTHING beats honesty, and the genuine desire to help someone.Our deals are off the charts!

Here is what works: develop a genuine relationship with someone and find ways to help them or work with them.

My full-time job for this week is to re-wire my brain and figure out what I want to do when I grow up. . . .I went through that transformation back in the day.

If you've got $200k, you probably should look for a GENUINE off-market deal, from motivated/distressed Sellers!...
