However, little did I know that my brother had made the weekly payment for our motel room and had not informed me, so the check bounced.

Feel free to reach out if you need some one to bounce your plan or ideas. 

I keep bouncing back and forth between buy and hold and flipping.

Also I would love to meet some local investors (new and seasoned), property managers & lenders, who I can brainstorm with and bounce ideas off of and get general advice.I look forward to doing business with you and growing our businesses together!

We've got a pretty tight knit group of BPers that meet up regularly and bounce ideas off of each other, and share leads when we can.

there are thousands of 4 plexs in PHX many went through foreclosure about 5 to 6 years ago and were trading for less than 100k per 4 plex with rents at 2400 gross.these are probably bounced back to about 150 to 200k... they peaked in 07 at 350k FYII knew many bay area folks who bought them at 350.. .there was a RE agent in PHX Linda Gercheck who brought her RE broker team to the bay area and did fly buy program and as stated she killed it in 05 to 07.. 

Great tenants who's deposit check/1st months rent bounced, first time home buyers who wanted 15% of the asking cost thrown in (closing costs, money for new HVAC/water heater/ac in cash, HOA fees, etc).

To be clear I sell via rent to own and then I finance after 12 mo to bounce backs move up from renting folks.  

Through out my few years of investing I have built a small team of investors and real estate professionals who bounce deals off each over time making me pretty intertwined with our market.

Should you need someone to bounce ideas off of, manage your rentals, broker your flips, etc, just let me know.
