The house should still sell for what they owe me if not I would bid the high bid, get the property back, fix the roof and do it againas I said we have found with owner finance I can sell the property for 20 to 25% more than current market value so when the balloon hits in five years and they pay it off I have enough money to do it again with a similar property. 

If you are looking for some books to read, send me a message and i'd be happy to share a few that I found extremely helpful. 

Hey, so the other day a I was talking to another student at my university about our schools financials, and found out most if not all schools publish a financial statement.  

Chicago's market is very expensive (for me at least) and my girlfriend has very expensive taste as well so the cheapest place i have found was 800k for a 4-plex. 

I found the BP podcast a few weeks ago and am thrilled to find such a wonderful place to listen, learn, and participate with fellow investors!  

I found an older home that needs some work and I am negotiating the contract with the seller.

But like looking at Bullhead city, I found a great property, but it's been sitting for sale for a year.

They charged a much higher price than I did (although I received much less profit) which wouldn't have been so bad but they couldn't seem to get it rented very much, plus, even when they did, there were always last minute cancellations (maybe found a better place for less money?).  

If found vacant, they assign a property preservation co.
