Great job to all involved.

The decision you face is almost the same as the one I had about two years ago...right down to about the same dollars involved.

Because there is an entire short sale process involved that no one involved currently seems to understand, it would be best to bring this to a good short sale realtor, or attorney or negotiator to get it moving in the right direction. 

I will tell you that you will need to learn some new skills and habits as well as getting the whole family involved. 

Based on this guys behavior, there was more than that involved.

I don't know if I ever really accomplish much but it is nice to get together with like minded individuals and discuss what we are involved in and hopefully to help someone get started.

Thus my initial motivation for getting involved in Real Estate Investing). 

If you have some questions on anything feel free to call Boo or Logan at our office - those two guys can answer any questions you have to make sure you're getting involved in the right program for you :) And don't worry - they're not your typical commission hungry sales reps, John pays them hefty salaries and they know their  biggest priority is to find out what each person actually needs and see how we can help them so you won't be pressured into anything.

@Timothy M WeberAs a contingency I would certainly want to look the leases in detail Look them over Good *before I agreed to the sale I also would specify that the seller is to give notice and get sIgnatures to all tenants in any and all units involved that they must vacate and the lease is not being renewed .

You're providing them real value, and they'll actually want to work with you and teach you what they know.For example, hypothetical successful investor has plenty of cash but is just not finding enough deals that fit their criteria.
