I wanted to keep the focus on the forest, not the trees, so to speak.To drive home the point on the availability of seller financing and to take a peak at a couple of the "trees" in the forest, I'm talking with an investor who his liquidating his portfolio.

Country Companies paid like a champ and didn't give me any grief or raise my rates.This week I had a tree blow down and go through a roof.

currently looking at 2 possible RE:a house across the street is probably going on Sherrif's sale next month, it was for sale in 2010-2011 but didn't sell due to the high asking price and a tree growing 10 inches away from the house (probably the root hits basement wall).a 1 bedroom condo near university, located under a 2 bedroom condo (so it's more like the basement with separate entrance). no garage, just 1 assigned parking lot.. maybe there's a condo fee.. price at 80-90K, which probably NOT a good rental property considering the rent might only be around $650-700
