I just want to give him a couple of weeks for a more solid contract/agreement. 

I don't want to speak for any of them, but I for one would like to get a more regular Lincoln group together.Several attend the REIA meetings in Omaha, but we'd like to have something closer as the markets are completely different.I will suggest setting something up after the first of the year if you can wait that long.

I want a multi unit so that the other units rental income puts me in a more secure space cash flow wise.  

Hey there John,You may need to provide a little more detailed information in your question in order to get a more direct answer.   

Seems it might be a more complicated situation (not having been a landlord before), but you probably have multiple contracts going, right?

Now, I haven't done much research past the next couple and I know the "riskier" (couldn't think of a more appropriate term) lenders will lend on up to 10 homes.  

Thanks Adam, Yeah I would have at least had one of my realtor friends pick up the commission had I known in a more in depth way how the HUD bidding process works. 

BUT would be concerned about the lack of professionalism in the contract and a moral obligation not to sell a house I do not own because of the current contract.

And DIG has subgroups as well, where meetings are held throughout the area and are either focused on a specific topic or organized geographically for a more localized flavor  There might be other "meet ups" nearby, but I suspect that you will not find those to have same depth and breadth of knowledge and experience as what you will find at DIG; I could be wrong about that of course ...  

Worst case scenario as your renters pay down your current loans you should eventually fall into a more positive debt to income ratio.
