It's very important you stay patient and be ready to play the right hand when it comes up.

I was rather looking for clarity if that type of strategy was even heard of or if I was getting played just so the realtor could tie me up in a deal.

If you are buying conventional and the repairs don't affect the functionality of the property, it will never come into play.

Since then I have shopped and found another commercial lender with slightly less down and longer amortization all helping cash flow and growth.Now I play both of them since I have done business with both and each has a few particulars that work better or worse on any given deal. 

I won't sell my investment properties to an FHA insured buyer as too often the underwriters make unreasonable demands and are as arrogant as a politician...I don't wish to play their games.

I'm going to play around with different direct mail pieces and something bold and direct will definitely be included.

i have this software. i got it from a real estate guru. i spend a $1,000 to take a 3 day course to learn about real estate investing. at that class they had an up sell for $25,000. included in the $25,000 was this software and many other added bonuses including a mentor. i only paid $1,000 to lock in my spot and get the software. i have been fiddling around with it but i think i would need someone more versed in real estate to show me how this software can be a better asset to me.

hey guys I just recently graduated , looking to play professionally , but also get into some investing !

This is where the 'growth market' comes into play--support always having a renter pool. 

Depending on the opportunities, we'll probably start with flipping and do buy-and-hold at a later stage, both in the Netherlands.In my private time I enjoy playing field hockey, sailing/boating and doing all kinds of technology projects (Arduino, electronics, etc) I love technology, how it makes our lives easier and I love to combine this love with real estate.
