My girlfriend and I are in college have been grinding away at our wholesale business to pay for college by the time we graduate (we are currently both undergrads), we are meeting with a very motivated seller today, we have no experience.... are also thinking about using seller financing not just wholesaling as our options.Question: our area is very dead in terms of REI it is a college town so there are a lot of rentals but almost no flippers, we have an extremely low population (we are in the north country in upstate new york) and no REI meetings within 60 miles.

Hi KevinI spent a month in New Zealand once-the most beautiful country.

I looked into that a few years back and decided that was a path I was not willing to take.  

I love to travel and have traveled extensively around the world - I've been to four continents and countless countries, I've climbed waterfalls (yes, that means going up against the water), kayaked with whales, and successfully avoided a police search party in Colombia (what happens in Colombia, stays in Colombia). 

With insurance on rentals carry a 2k deductible doing small claims is a path to higher rates or out right cancellation, I also have State Farm grab a umbrella too pennies on the dollar.

I'll be out of the country May/June, but keen on the July meeting.

They are based in Houston, but do business around the country.

Have a vacation property in East Fort Lauderdale and am interested in learning more about the market as I live out of country.

You see people craning their necks for 2%, wherein the 1% range is more realistic for most of the country.
