I started investing in Aug 2010 and I think the first 12-18 months, I did 5-7 deals and since then I have done around 250 deals, but you need systems and a team who can follow the systems.Scaling up their business is one of the hardest challenges people face in their business.

That said, millennials ARE starting families and let's face it ~ when that happens, having extra space for kids/pets becomes more of a priority.

I thought face to face would be little more beneficial than door hangers?

a challenge I face is that I have approved financing in place but I am getting outbid by cash buyers on the offers.  

For me personally I have had this situation work well and also implode in my face.

There are many cards out there that can give you 0%APR for 12 months or so, meaning you can purchase all your items and just pay the bare minimum in the mean time.

@Glenn Mayo I think what you may be referring to is that some old (and recycled) guru advice was to purchase low interest performing notes at a large discount, and use them to trade for real property getting credit for the note not at what you paid for it, nor at the fair market value, but at the face value of the principal.  

The problem you face is the legal part.

@Wesley WongYour dilemma is the same one we face in the high-cost coastal markets.

George Soros recently said that we may be facing a crisis like 2008. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/soros-2008-crisis-ov...Another red flag is that there are so many real estate gurus promoting their "systems" all over the place.
