Thanks again. http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521-events-and-happenings/topics/126601-denver-may-26th-meetupJust posted it, its always the 4th Monday of the month, unless there is major holiday that week (thanksgiving, Christmas) then it will be the 3rd week of the month!

Unknown what the other rents are, but I put in a call to the owner today and hope to hear back from him after the holiday weekend...

Yep, I worked this holiday week-end and in doing so I observed a long awaited phenomena.

Second company will then come out and do the shotcrete.I've already had several dead/dying trees removed from the creek wall to get it ready for the steel work.We're tentatively scheduled to get started with the steel after the holidays, so early January.

Happy Holidays to everyone...My name is Steve im married with 3 kids.I was just laid off from my job in November(i work in the gas industry)I've helped flip a few houses in the past so i was thinking about getting back into it.Today i get a call they want me back.Decisions decsions....After doing alot of thinking i decided i want to buy cheap mutifamily units and fix them up to rent them out.I hope this is a wise choice for my 401k money i had to withdrawl..Any input would be appricated and i look forward to talking to you.

I think there are two separate issues:1) Getting possession back, with little or no damage, in the shortest time, in order to get rent ready before the holidays, when people prefer to not be relocating.

Probably the worst time to start asking folks questions with the holidays coming up ha! 

The process lol, well I made the mistake of pushing all this through during the holiday time.

This is a pro for a variety of reasons.Because they hold it in house, hey have the ability to be slightly more "relaxed" on what the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac guidelines call for.

Most of the HUD asset managers have relaxed any enforcement of their long standing policy of not allowing any marketing of the property while you have it under contract.
