I just wonder if they'll use that against me during the current auction period, which ends on Wed.  

The last wholesaler I almost dealt with had a shot of his new wife chugging two bottles of vodka at the same time on his wedding day up on his public FB page, with him cheering her on.

We meet (Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, also my podcast) the first WED of every month in-person around NJ.

My phone would ring off the hook all day long with people trying to make my dreams come through by buying our non-performing loans for 30 cents on the dollar.

We are planning on moving to Houston in 2023 and want to build up some passive income up here in milwaukee to aid us in the move, our wedding the week before the move, her grad school the year after we move, and of course our mortgage.

I have a positive cash flow of 4,853 after all is said and done on my first unit, and I feel good about it..I would like to put together a portfolio of 4 to 5 positive cash flow properties -that are similar in size and price -before getting back in the ring with buildings..Learned a lot from the BiggerPockets Community, thanks y'all !!!!! 

Hi Patrick, I haven't read through all of the replies to your post, so perhaps you've found the answer you were looking for, but I thought I'd throw my experience in the ring of my first investment property since I was in a similar situation as you.The first (and currently only) property I bought was in an up and coming neighborhood in Tacoma, WA back in 2016.

The one challenge with market cycles is no one rings a bell at the bottom or at the top.After the Financial Crisis of 2008, for example, the financial media was looking for "green shoots" as an indication the economy was recovering.

The thought of sitting back while your phone rings with sellers just didnt seem legit.

Let the phone ring 3 times then go to the next dialUse a double dialer. if both calls answer hang up on one and then call them backnever stop until youre done.
