For example, while most underwriters will require that a contract not be signed with an FHA buyer until day 91, some are willing to take contracts earlier, and get the ball rolling sooner.

I found several more properties in the same neighborhood that will produce numbers in the same ball park.

Based on my estimation we would be able to rent this unit LOW balled for 650, likely 700.00 (I say this understanding I have never done this before and have no sure idea to know what I’m talking about besides to the tools I use to make these guesses) So do you have any advice on how we should proceed?

Get a couple bids on the work, and make sure you're in the right ball-park.

Obviously no one has a crystal ball - just hoping for some other thoughts.

I eat well, and maintain a very rigorous exercise program.

#2 This guy say's he's going to find a great deal on property, and I better get his name and number...We did a few exercises, he went to his next REI meeting and came home with 5 new numbers that he didn't have to ask for...Investors now wanted him, as bad as he wanted them...He had been to 3 other meetings, with the same people and all 3 times he left the meetings not with lead, but with a sinking feeling in his gut that he was destined for failure...Which of course contributed to the problem even more at the next meeting...Here I'll explainThe problem is many rookies MISTAKINGLY believe that by talking a big game (which they usually fail at as well) that they will get investors to work with them...The trouble is 90% of communication happens on a subconscious level....In fact, in many cases the investors who turn you away probably don't even know why they don't want to give you a chance....they just get that "FEELING" from you, and gut feelings are basically a quick snap decision from the subconscious mind....You have probably had a similar experience when you meet someone and something doesn't feel right, or they just seem to be full of B.S....It's because "WHAT YOU SAY" is far less important than "HOW YOU SAY IT".The only way to change the "how you say it" is to change your attitude and beliefs about you and you're business.

My gf was bustin my balls this morning and saying Imma slum lord.

The last short sale I tried was an exercise in frustration.
