I posted this as a comment in a thread in my local forum (Baton Rouge), but things are a bit slow there so I thought I'd try a broader audience.For those who have been involved in real estate for some time, how have your deal sources evolved as you grew as an investor?

At this point, we have been looking and learning  for about 6 months with no luck, because our only good opportunity felll through due to a slow realtor.  

New boilers, i.e. high efficient models, have a pump that never stops, but will actually speed up or slow down relative to the amount of heat you want put out.I have stayed away from boilers like the plague, however I just finished rehabbing my first property with a boiler installed in 2007 and have been pleasantly surprised by it.

I'm just saying, its a slow go here because prices are so high.

Thanks for the response Phil, still a little confused and can I rent another apartment if I have the court documents showing the withdrawal?

Slow and steady wins the race.  

You can also overpay for people who does a crappy job or works super slow LOL But you definitely won't find good contractors if you underpay.

It will be slow going but I've learned so much about the process that it is paying dividends I can't really assign a dollar value to.  

Keep in mind that this is a bit of the slow time of year.

It will be a slow process but the best rates/terms.
