Im down to put the work in but want to know 2 things...what would be the most efficient and effective way to use my time to get houses under contracts and to close deals. 

some people are saying save your $800 and buy umbrella insurance.

Sometimes I received phone calls from angry note sellers who want to be removed from their list or want to let me know that their husband or dad had died and the family had already sold the note.

Also, you will be able to use 75% of the rent as assigned by the appraiser on the house you are buying as well. 

the tenant. arbitrage would be someone having a long term rental agreement (usually at least a year) and a landlord isnt normally going to be paying the utilities in those cases

But then wouldn’t I be losing all the gained equity in our primary home?

There is a huge influx of people coming from California moving to Nevada due to its expanding growth and the New Hollywood movement.

I'll be in town next week and looking for any neetups.Thanks :)

That would be a big no bueno.

Do you anticipate it being vacant through the winter.
