If you get tied in with them you are going to learn the hard but profitable parts of notes, turning NPN's into PN's!  

The ties here is very good hope to see you at some of the meetings.

I think you just ran into another wholesaler and tied up their wholesale deal, in which case, if you can make money on the deal and actually perform in accordance with your contract (assuming they can as well), what's the issue?

My biggest fear is tying up capital and just from my research that I've done it seems like wholesaling might be the quickest turnaround for the most part.

Also a book that ties everything together for small multis (4 or less units) is called "Investing in duplexes,triplexes and quadplexes" by Larry B Loftis.

Its gonna take me some time to save the money to acquire the property so I don't want to tie it up to for a few hundred dollars in passive income....

@Russell Brazil there is so much that you just wrote that I disagree with, that we'll have to just agree to disagree because as a customer I am looking to a realtor for their best judgement based on their experience to assist me with the best possible purchase taking in all the relevant considerations tied to the ever popular location, location, location mantra and financial criteria important to the client.  

I think Buildium gave the "My Office" as an example to track things that aren't really tied to a property per se.I believe the E-book goes into a little detail on this -- if not you can find it by searching through the help articles they have online.One thing I've been trying to get in better compliance on is tracking Capital Improvements v Repairs, adjusting cost basis etc and the appropriate depreciation for the improvements/equipment.  

So I'd say both houses tie on those metrics.Both neighborhoods are nice, so that would appear to be another tie, but it looks like you may have a slight preference towards the neighborhood the second house is in- so let's say the second house gets a point for that.But here's the main distinction, and why I'd probably go for the second house, if all else is equal(and let's be honest with ourselves, when is all else ever equal?) 

I don't want the property tied up unnecessarily as I am looking to move quickly.
