I plan on going to meet ups to network.

I have purchased half duplex in Connecticut a year ago (home price seems to be up 10% since i purchased). 

Another one site unseen, just signed power of attorney over for the closing at a notary off of Baker St!

As we flipped this ourselves from the roof to the flooring, we gained much respect to labor workers and realized even the tidiest things such as changing the outlet covers and installing new plumbing will take up a lot of time!

Some arbitrage operators also try to get multi-year lease terms, security deposits waived, free rent up front, and the like.

How could I get one of them to agree to sign an agreement to vacate the property?

I can see the rates they're advertising being possible BUT I doubt that they'd had the same spread if they were signing leases in today's market. 

I woke up today with plenty of "Price Cuts" from the listings.

The magic in real estate takes time, BP calculator will tell you..After investing for 15 years in Milwaukee (usually regarded a cash flow market) I can pretty much much sum up my philospohy in a couple sentences: acquite as much real estate as quickly as possible, as early as possible in your life.
