Exactlly, we are on the same page.Why do the newer investors choose apartments when like i say, the headache just seems higher then on a retail or office space.I think that apartments are chosen because they are very similar to your duplex/quadplex, only larger, so they remain more in their "comfort zone".

The wholesaler remains on the hook to the seller because the original contract was between the wholesaler AND the seller.

I've come to the conclusion that I only deal with serious and motivated people....just like sellers...lol If they are skeptical...I don't try and convince them...I just move onto the next.

It is said that during the last century Carlo Alberto, king of Piedmont and Sardinia, disembarked on the island in search of the mythical goats of the golden teeth (phenomenon caused by a grass that causes these reflections), and had remained so spellbound by it as to nominate its only inhabitant, Paul Bertolini, "king of Tavolara".

Since I have started REI my number one rule buying houses has been and still is...only deal with motivated sellers.

Either it's a matter of work ethic or a matter of motivation.

One more option: send a letter to your own landlord letting him know that you won't be renewing the lease when it comes due in June because you can't tolerate the dog poop any longer and the HOA won't do anything about it.That should motivate your landlord to put some pressure on the HOA.Get some of your neighbors to send letters of complaint to the HOA.

If you have the knowledge required to proceed then the only thing holding you back is you - your motivation level.Me personally, I studied RE for 7 months before buying my first.

This will be the biggest and worst bubble of them all.I don't think that we will hit bottom until at least 2012 and then will remain in a horrendous depression until at least 2018.

I have the time, I have the desire and motivation to succeed.
