Than the second half of the year my goal is save, to buy 2 more house by april 2016, hitting 10 house self funded shortly after my 28th birthday.My other"professionalish" goal write an ebook on self-managing from anywhere with a hectic schedule. continue to grow my blog, potentially monetizing it to help hit my "house" goalIn 18 months  once we have hit 10 "conventional" loans, I hope to enter into the vacation rental for diversification and hopefully higher cash flow.

In all, a most profitable exoerience, despite lack of monetization.

This gives you much more freedom to maneuver in the field, especially while you figure out your true role and how to monetize opportunities, especially If you've never done a deal.Harsh reality: most probates are NOT distress sales as most PR's are not especially motivated.

Unless you're an agent, the chances monetizing is slim.

How will it monetize?

This realization has also got me thinking about how I can monetize everything that I do to generate other streams of income.  

Multi's are a great way to get out of the rat race monetizing your overhead.Let me know if you need any assistance.Regards,Joe Scorese

@Adam Hoffer I am sorry you have had these experiences at banks, but I think you are in the wrong Office at the bank, You need to be at local banks, with good capitalization, check the stability of the local banks on Bankrat.com my lenders dont do apprasiales, one does inhouse valuations, and the other orders BPO's locally, ($175-$200) I do som fees, but nothing even close to th altrnativ funding sources costs.I am concerned with amount you have spent on a duplex, I hope the rent is quite high, like $2500/mo net, and has an AVR close to $300K but id doubt that in LaCrosse, I dont mean to be critical, but it is concerning, if you have a significant amount of equity, you could leverage that as a line of credit.  

I would like to monetize every lead  by using owner financing and then assigning the terms to an end buyer.

I try and monetize each lead.
