Local markets are still hot, so I'd like to get in sooner than later and capitalize on the fast equity build for longer term strategies.I'll look into the options you've noted and seek out a smaller, more flexible S&L/Broker and try to start building a relationship there.

Mebane is growing fast but there's still some relatively inexpensive properties to be had out there in comparison with the rest of the Triangle.

In our research......the "we buy houses" type phrase is the most searched highly motivated seller phrase in most markets (behind that are the "sell my house fast [location]" or "sell house fast [location]" type phrases.

Email is the fast.

Bravo guys.Interested in discussing everyone's investment strategies, and learning just as fast as I can.

If you think the sale is moving too fast for you to lock up a new property efficiently then slow the sale down.  

I'm a fast learner, I'm eager and a go getter. 

@Dawn Anastasi yes the couple provided their midwest landlord who I called and got a raving review but it's a private owner so who knows, in retrospect.And they indicated they were staying at Extended Stay America Pasadena since they flew into CA, which struck a chord with me as months ago when I relocated from NYC, I also stayed in Extended Stay America but the one right near Long Beach Airport, until I closed on this house. in retrospect, i realize when i advertised for a housemate on CList months ago, i had initially indicated i stayed at Extended Stay America and had just closed on my home and was looking for a housemate (and found a great one just weeks ago, who is also from NYC but now works for Los Angeles Fire Department and Los Angeles Police Department thru a government contractor. would not put it past these characters to have actually stalked my CList posts and gathered info to use to sugar-coat their story. anyways i dont wanna get my housemate involved as he's new but at least he has connections as far as some of his clients, if it comes to that for whatever it might be worth if things escalate and/or become violent. i'm a very diplomatic person, not sure if that helps in this sutation though =/they offered to pay more rent ($300 more per month) and of course i said no, you need to work on finding a new place better and fast before time runs out for your situation. and in reply they (well the father, he does most the yapping) just asked me to install area rugs which they initially agreed to install in the first place even before 3 kids magically appeared in the picture and now are claiming the rugs will help deaden the sound but that I have to furnish them. guess there's suddenly a few screws coming lose as the act is finally falling to pieces. i mean who in their right mind is going to cater to their 'needs' after being lied to and my signature forged (God knows where else?!).

I've made some bad ones, but, fortunately, the successes have come along fast enough to cover up the mistakes.

The insurance guys all told this family to "MOVE, RUN, FAST."
