I heard a horror story recently about someone handing keys and a signed lease and just accepting a check, which then bounced! 

That's an awesome story!

So a little back story before this question and I'm hoping I can get some ideas on how to resolve it.I've purchased a duplex property on well and septic.$89,5002/1 800sf & studio/1 400sf.

Hello all, Here is the happy ending to my story.

It gives us the opportunity to pay our kids and teach them how to work.I think it would be a good idea to swap ideas and stories.

Hello Tanya,Good story and your property find sounds perfect!

Hopefully her life has slowed down and she's got a couple more exciting MH stories to tell.And There's Erich (Somehow we aren't BP Connected) whose doing a bunch with MH down in Pierce.  

My story is probably pretty common...bought my Fall River, MA condo in 2007 (when I thought we had hit the "bottom" of the market...ya), lived in it for 5 years.In 2012, my wife and I wanted to buy a house, and selling the condo was out of the question since I could only get about half what I owed.So, we became landlords.And a funny thing happened…I enjoyed the process and a lot of things about it.I’ve found two great tenants who are low maintenance and pay on time.So here I am, looking for more property.I think I know what I’m looking for as far as a good deal, but I worry I’m not going to be able to finance the deal when I find it due to lack of funds.Hopefully between this forum, the podcast, and the half dozen books I’ve bought, the answers will come.We’ll see what happens!

Todd Witt that is such a great success story!
