They key question that pops up in my mind is:  how does the money work here?  

@Bailey Zheng yeah I agree although myWife and I are slightly different with “happy spouse, happy house” but I agree we are looking for the “right” place and we know what it is that we want but we can’t decide on weather or not to jump if an investment opportunity pops up if we don’t own a house yet to live in.

I’d say 90% of the time he wants a gas station pop, Dr.

Again, others might feel differently here.3) property level due diligence: (takes seconds to weeks per deal): here is where I drill in with the low-level details.a) pro forma popping: I examine all the assumptions, and see if they are overoptimistic or not.

It'll hurt him at some point when it pops up on a background check. 

Those usually come back to bite you as in the broker popping up after you do all the work to make a claim.

First post here, did not look around to hard in the forum for relevant info as this opportunity just popped up and I'd like some quick advice if possible.My wife and I are set on developing the best real estate portfolio we can as a core component of our retirement planning. 

They would temporarily get the drains to work and then the issue would pop up again. 

you have to create your own mom and pop buyers for these notes.. your not going to sell them to those in the industry as I stated above.   

I posted this a while ago but I know this is a relatively new thing so there are a lot of new players popping up over the last couple years.I need to skip trace roughly 100,000 property owners in one batch.I'm familiar with BatchSkipTracing and YellowLetterHQ (the latter being half the cost listed online).
