While the first property will be my primary residence for a few years, the end goal for it is a rental.Mid term goal is to get to ~10 SFH/plexes self managed (for the experience).Long term goal is to begin investing in apartments and storage facilities.Investor mentality: Buy and Hold

The one that got angry is the ones that already got 20 or 50 mailing from people want to buy their home with a low-ball offer and not a fair offer and now come the shoe salesmen pitch I want to do a subject2 or owner finance deal, and now they really get upset knowing you wasted their time when you have no funds to buy.

I too was in your shoes a few years ago, however I went ahead and bought my first house with my lingering student loans anyways.

-There is almost no storage, lacks garage and basement-Sq ft is on the smaller end of the neighborhood-Looks nicer then all comps, new trim, laminate flooring, SS appliances, remodeled bathroom with tile.How much will the negative factors effect the rental rate?

He has mentioned the carpets to me numerous times and I have noticed that there are more runs than there were initially (mind you while I was building storage units in the basement I could hear the dogs running back and forth and skidding on the carpets for hours).

Maybe storage but its a small space.

Title company is also subrogated (steps into the buyer's shoes) to your buyer's rights under the purchase contract.Remember, you never had a title policy, only a binder.

Not sure I have found myself in your shoes recently.

Talked to one "seller" and if he can't get his price he'll "turn it into storage" Every town has number of empty buildings returning to dust.

My Storage facility in Ft Myers continues to increase occupancy from 55% when I bought it in 2009 (lucky ?)
