I saw this neat story about how you got into it (landlording) and also how you got out of it (at least the day to day) after 17 years!

Thanks Kevin - will call later today.

I have bought one already but I’d like to pick up the pace.

It seems like it would be better for a rehab house that you were going to fix up and sell as fast as you could. 

Get a pre-approval as fast as you can, so you know what price range you're looking in.

the other thing if its  a owner occ type loan there could be mortgage insurance.. and most banks sell their owner occ loans anyway.. now if your doing what @Levi T. talked about and going after commercial assets.. this was possible years back.my personal banker was in charge of their OREO and I got the list every week.. and bought a few subdivisioins from them they took back .. but this is small commercial bank where I knew the owners of the bank personally IE president and head credit officer.. and my banker is in charge of all the loan officers... and has banked me 24 years.. so yes its who you know.bigger multi billion dollar banks doing owner occ you can pretty much foregeta bout buying those in todays market.they want as stated to establish if they get a mortgage insurance claim and or they want to maximize profits.. there is simply not as much hangover inventory.. and or they will then sell off notes.. 

I just used it today, ripping 1" off a 3" chair rail molding so it kinda-sorta matches the 100 year old baseboard cap molding in the rest of the unit.

Are you a cash buyer closing on this fast?

I agree with the notion of paying off highest interest cards first (and fast). 

Today I tried to post again in category FAQ Forum but still its not letting post it.
