Thanks for the updates, it has been fun watching the story unfold.

@Quamal Burton This is how the story unfolds: Driving to work, we are listening to a BP podcast about a wholesaler who quit his job, and he is now killing it: making a ton of money.

Estimates - from both then and now - are that housing starts are millions of units behind the demand.The current economic turmoil is what will drive the events shortly to unfold.

This unit is part of a 12-unit package deal that overall checks off a bunch of boxes on our wish list, and the other 11 units are already rented much higher than this one, so we're going to proceed with the purchase regardless of how things unfold with the little old lady :)  Thanks for your comments Jack!

I am interested in finding out how this story unfolds!

I look forward to hearing further stories about how the project unfolds.   

Kevin Olson thanks I've contacted patty and hopefully will be able to get going I will post more as the journey unfolds

Great i say, but i don't know anything about it, but i've seen on my Linkedin feed a free seminar on property investing, lets go along.On the way there, i'm briefing my son on the tricks and traps that unscrupulous providers use to hook you in, and feeling quite smug that, that wouldn't happen to me.So i'm in the seminar, and the usual 'suspects' of entrapment begin... but as the evening unfolds, i watch my son, go from enthusiastic to 'damn i really want to do this dad'.

Still open to location suggestions.Definitely interested in hearing how your story unfolds!

I have both an individual lease and the section 8 lease as she signed the first one before we had the house inspected.Ill keep you all posted on this drama as it unfolds (I think thats the root of it...she loves drama!
