Also, any seller who has completed a flip and does not want to sell on the MLS is nuts.

Here's where it will drive you nuts until you have a nice portfolio.

My market here on the Jersey shore is nuts and while the deal in front of me is fairly priced, 25% down is a big nut for my first rental property.

It's nuts why would anyone invest in these is beyond me. 

I also have had an 81 unit there for 3 years, people told me I was nuts, Well, we are selling for 2.4 mill.

These type of sellers are tough nuts to crack. 

I wouldn't consider an MLS list to be fruitful.

[Hint-Hint: the nuts and bolts of financing deals might be an excellent webinar topic for Brandon Turner and Bigger Pockets!]

Looking for someone to consult on how to skin this cat, and ideally handle the nuts and bolts.

Then I found out the deal was under contract, which was what I really needed to dash my love affair with the forbidden (or more realistically, rotten) fruit that was that deal.I learned a lot so far from this process, I learned that I need to get my financing figured out before finding the next property, and that I need to always trust at the numbers.I still have a goal of buying the first deal by the end of the year to get the train rolling and chugging along towards my goal.I’m eager to meet new people and learn as much as I can.
