They are playing hardball.

These are not investors buying, these are people like you and I who have normal jobs and are just looking for a place to call home.Salaries aside, you didn't even address any of the other issues that I mentioned also play into the cost of housing.

I mean...with 2-4 properties I think it's manageble....but how do I deal with this risk ?

I'll also give you $2,000 to help find another place to live".At this point the attitude and disposition of the homeowner really comes into play....they would either a) tell you to get the hell out or b) see the advantage of letting you help out and then give in.

There is supply/demand factors in play.

With only a 200 per month to play with in terms of a loan, it's not likely that will get enough loan to pay cash for another property, but if you can increase your cash flow by another 200 bucks a month after all expenses, then perhaps taking on another mort payment would be worth it.

Hello Investors,I am looking to network with other experienced wholesalers and flippers in Essex County,NJ.If you like to play CashFlow e-game even better.

From what I have read though if you employ solar and wind power generators then you are pretty much set, because if its not sunny then its likely stormy which means more wind :)Basically the civilization systems include everything you need to live a civilized life on an island, are completely self sufficient (you could remove the generator if you didn't mind the occasional black out), and again not as expensive as one would think, especially with the "go green" attitude really coming into play now a days, you may even start to see these kinds of systems becoming available to the rural population, and as economics dictates, the more widely available something becomes, the lower the price tends to be.Just thought I would throw what I know about islands out there for everyone.

.:)Hey...if they want to play bird dog and bring you whopper deals, that's cool.

A short sale would come into play because they owe much more than its worth.
