But, if you occasionally do need to back out, try to back out of the deal that will cause the least repercussions to your reputation.

There's a ton to do up there from June-August between the mountains, lakes, outlets, etc. and we'd get hikers, bikers, rock climbers, and the occasional fishermen. 

For that you will have to come to BP, your local REIA, and the occasional RE guru. 

@Gordon Cuffe Do you mind pinging me with occasional off-market properties? 

I have landscaping crew who I trust just need a good list of contractors/Handyman/plumbers I can call for occasional upkeep or emergencies.

Everything I buy is with intentions to either wholesale to another investor, or rehab & flip, but occasionally I hold them, as I have 9 today.I buy from anyone who has the best deal...some come from individual home owners FSBO, some from wholesalers, some from realtors, some from banks, some from live auction, some from online auction, some from HUD auction, anywhere there's a great deal, I could care less who is marketing it. 

It was simply a discussion/roll play between Will and Bill and occasionally Marc would chime in, The 10 others in the chat probablly wernt willing to say a word after the 10 times I was scolded for asking logical questions.

I may be a bit late in posting an introduction - it has only taken me 2 years of occasional BP reading to realize that getting involved in this team sport is much better than hiding in a corner.I have a few out of state buy and hold deals under my belt, but I'd still consider myself new.

In a nut shell...I'm a Texan that went to HS in WI and college in IA and then spent that last 15 years in China (selling rubber, brass and the occasional gov procurement).

Sometimes they call and sometimes not and they occasionally make mistakes.
