@javier marchena   These aren't tenants or applicants, these are already established borrowers of the loan.

i guess my question is, other than calling agents, who i might add aren't that much of a help, how else do you guys find your sweet spot, areas that are selling, when you don't live in the area.

I'm a newbie investor and your videos are great info and they aren't long and drawn out like most REI videos.

For small stuff, it helps to have friends that will do small jobs or to know people that aren't licensed, but like to do handyman work on the side.

It has definitely worked for me.The point I'm trying to get across to you is that the real players in this business aren't doing what the masses are.

Aren't you in the business to make money?

There aren't many property conditions that can not be cured, if you have enough money to cure the problem.

Why aren't you just getting a regular mortgage on the property?

Prices here are ridiculous, aren't they??

I do recommend never locking a property up that you aren't certain you can close on.
