Some vendors are more sensitive to these little nuances than others.

I'm very price sensitive and if it has something catastrophic.

Not interested in a no-money-down strategy as I am looking to REPLACE my income as fast as possible so I'm willing to put a little skin in the game.  

I mean you don't see Me with Oregon and Ca properties running adds in Cleveland for you folks to come buy my properties. but you see all sorts of these companies that advertise their properties out in the areas were the residences are much more investor centric than were you live.. but this started in 2000 or so I started funding out of state folks in 2002 and been doing it ever since.. however its tightening its finally got to the point were the recycle like you talk about has really calmed down.. as a whole the buyers are smarter and PM s do a better job.. and the investors have skin in the game so they did not walk from rentals like they did in 08 to 2010..  

Basically you've got to call someone licensed to broker and say "hey I'm not super rate sensitive, open your junk mail please" since all of us are inundated with spam from these outfits on a daily basis, and for the most part aren't super enthusiastic about working with them.

I hear what many of you are saying about us being too sensitive and that we will deal with things like this if we are landlords.

If you demonstrate that you are willing to take risk with your own skin in the game (HELOC), they are more likely to loan money to you, and at a lower interest rate than someone who has no experience. 

There are still markets in the United States that allow either the beginner investor, or the seasoned expert to invest at low price points in B class neighborhoods.As real estate prices have generally recovered since the financial crisis, there are still pockets that remain, where if you know what you are doing you can purchase a home for between $60,000 - $100,000 in a solid B class area with infrastructure supporting a tenant and home owner demand (Just ask all of the Midwest folks)These homes range from 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom all the way up to 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom and even duplexes.Price sensitivity is important for many reasons.

Regarding SSN, I never want the tenant to give that to me due to the extreme sensitivity of it.

As someone who is just learning and does not have skin in the game yet, I would like to volunteer, and provide any help in organizing a meetup if you guys are interested.
