As an investor in the same shoes I know what DEALs look like in my target neighborhoods.

Hey Ross,Just moved here myself (grew up here a long time ago) and am now in your shoes!

The build quality on it was unbelievable.I still own a pair of Johnston and Murphy shoes that I purchased in 1976, new soles once or twice, new heels several times more.

I'll then ask for something of value (flat screen and new tennis shoes), in exchange for the oncoming invasion of privacy.

If it was me in your shoes, I'd start where I could do a deal that I paid for all the land and then move up until you can afford the deal you are considering.

Put yourself in the lenders shoes.

As they say in the shoe business: JUST DO IT!

You need to put yourself in the other person's shoes and view it from their perspective.For example, if you were the owner of a house in urban area, with market value of $300k, and know if you decide to sell, and get at least $300k just by listing home, and find a buyer.

So when all my friends were walking around in their new leather shoes after Christmas, I was walking around in my converse chucks.

If I was in your shoes and the property is cash-flow positive, I'd have a property manager manage it for me and check in 1-2x a month.
