She told me he is ahead of meIs this customary for a bank pre-approved short sale?

I'm just a few months ahead of you in terms of wholesaling and I'm in the Northern and Central NJ space for now.

Here are the key questions to think through before you get it going:1) what do you want to buy2) how much can we afford3) how will you pay for it 3) what are you going to do with it afterHere is how we tackled this challenge:1) Find a reputable and responsive agent to work with: we worked with @Sharon Tzib2) Get pre-qualified with a good and local lender that work with investors: we usedd Rochelle Frazeur from New American. 3) Use some good MLS criteria to set up lists with your agent3) Find out how to identify a good deal: We got our hands on some good cash flow analysis calculators (thanks to @Sharon Tzib) and we used the calculators on BP as well4) Make neighborhood visits to those areas of your interest5) Find other venues to meet up with other investors or go to workshops and meet up's: We've attended BP meet up in Houston, events with Jet Lending, meeting with Wholesalers, and we've met one-on-one with other investors6) Look for non-MLS sources to find properties for sale: wholesalers, and local listing through Rich club or word of the mouth7) Talk to the property manager if you are planning on using on.

Go ahead and ask and I reply. 

Charge to visit the property for any reason.

And the best kicker is that the owner is willing to finance it with 15% down and 6% interest, which is better than any bank.So, I'll go ahead and use the formula mentioned to see what the worst case scenario would be:$800/mo x 10 homes = $96,000/year-50% Vacancy and or expenses = $48,000/year-$1900/month mortgage = $23,000/year-$250/month water = $3000/year-$110/month trash = $1320/year-$1943/year property taxes per-$1800/year insurance-----------------------------------+$96,000 Income-$48,000 vacancy/repairs-$23,000 mortgage-$3,000 water-$1320 trash-$1943 property taxes-$1800 insurance-----------------$16,937 Net Operating Income @ 50% expense/vacancyWe would have an extra $19,200 if we can keep it at 30% which we're hoping/expecting to be at on the second year after doing some improvements and getting everything rentedWe also believe this can make us look good with the bank for owning property and having cashflow to be able to get another bigger loan in the future.

I have recently visited a local bank @James Paine @Gino Barbaro and was surprised how interested they were in refinancing my properties.  

I really enjoy my career, but want to look ahead towards retirement/financial independence while I'm young.I really have no real estate experience other than having bought my first home with my wife about a year ago.
