...I barely slept last night.

One side of the building (that faces Congress) is the tax auctions, and on the other side (that faces Franklin) is REO and Trustee foreclosures, and Auction.com has a big presence there.

What issues have you faced with them?

Sorry for the melodramatic title but what does one do when a listing agent appears to have dropped off the face of the planet?

I am also a new investor, also in Washington DC, and also facing the issues that you mentioned in your post.

Also, if you'd like to join in on some face to face networking, J Martin puts on a monthly networking event in the East Bay.

This statement seems to fly in the face of any buy and flip project or pretty much any real estate activity where you would put in any personal effort.

In regards to the down payment I found a grant that I might be able to qualify for which is for down payment assistance and closing cost thus cutting my saving time by half.The dilemma I’m facing is that recently I been talking to a national real estate investor and I’ve been following him for about a year in conference calls mainly, his name is Mark Pantak he’s been trying to come to develop a group in NYC for a while but it seem to be difficult for him to find a committed person.

Couldn't wait to quit the day job.I am the VP of the RAA (Rockford Apartment Association), a group of landlords (SFH, Duplex, Apts, even some commercial) who get together to stay informed of local issues facing our industry.

Whatever the market will bare is what they will pay.
