I also became aware of a family of six who had lost their house in a fire that started in a neighbors house and totaled this families house next door. 

Now, you have lost a potential network oppurtunity for Miami, Florida. 

I want to plan to acquire properties at a steady but quick rate but I am a bit lost on how the financing aspect works.I am so glad that we were able to stumble upon the podcasts and these forums.  

This system was discover almost by accident, but I still use it today all the time to control real estate; residential and large commercial properties.

I remember between March and April of 2009 where we have a very large exposure in to defaulted loans (10's of millions) and what seemed like overnight within those 30 some days we lost 15% of value across our portfolio.  

I provide a complete acquisition and management service, covering the following.Pre-purchase inspections to determine repair/upgrades needed.Coordinating renovations and preventative maintenance.Tenant screening, writing leases, rent collection.Payment processing to vendors for repairs & routine property maintenance such as air conditioning, pest control and lawn care.  

Mainly because without deep level knowledge those unknown little mistakes add up to big amounts of lost money ( a compounding effect ).The same holds true when when you are an expert in something in that you catch almost all the little things that can really eat into your success with an investment.

Now we're trying to "stop the bleeding"; then, we'll have to make up a lot of lost ground.In the meantime, we've both got chronic health conditions, so it's not just our ages.  

Just noted elsewhere that someone attempting a flip on a 2/1 lost their shirt as the FMV was less than they thought AND could not get an offer even at FMV - - the config of 2/1 are hard to sell.

., a Master Lease is when you take control of a property and have an option to purchase it at a set date in the future.
