and greed will grab folks and make them do irrational things  IE 40% on unsecured equipment note..

@Vashti GreenIf you can purchase a 4-unit for $140k that has $700/mo rents per door, then grab it! 

I'm also a father to 7 1/2 Month old twins girls.

She was previously living there with a roommate and they were both on the lease, and I allowed the old roommate to move out and wrote a new lease with the one girl on the same terms.

Try to grab census data.

@Patrick Desjardins  this is based on my personal experience of doing probably 100 plus of these. they all started off great but this was in PDX so other areas may be different.. only 2 ever paid us off.and more than 50% of mine defaulted within 24 months.but we were not dealing with low value assets.. so I can see if you have super low payments .. or something like that.. but that is my personal experience.. on the flip side on our performing notes that get set up correctly from the beginning default is virtually non existent.. but no one in the note business has zero defaults. that is for sure.I think this new scheme of grabbing NPN getting them paying for 6 months then call them performing and reselling them like they are performing is high risk.. but that's my take on it.

I'd be able to grab a coffee some time, if you're interested.

If there is someone you meet at one of these larger events, I would suggest that you ask them out to grab coffee, lunch, or a drink to talk a little further and deepen the relationship. 

Send attention-grabbing postcards to targets who you can't properly identify.

One day, I was bored so I turned on the TV and a show was on that grabbed my attention, it was a house flipping show.
