Then I think I will skip over these leads, sounds like a pain trying to get multiple heirs to agree on a price.

Hi fellow BP Members and International Real Estate Investors,You might feel like finding good information and connecting with knowledgeable investors is difficult while living abroad.As Bill Clinton famously said, "I feel your pain."

First and foremost, find out the sellers true motivation and "pain" point, then bring them the solution.  

I feel your pain and yes you have been duped.

It may be worth the pain. 

Never know when their pain will change.

It was just a pain to use.For now, my suggestion is to keep accepting applications until everything is complete and you approve the best one.

HOWEVER, it is important to consider your net return, because if you pay more interest than what your rental is, then the leverage is working against you, certain recipe for pain.

BTW2, I generally advise NOT investing out of state ... been there, done that, and it was very painful for me; your mileage may vary.

This month - facing four vacancies, semi-annual property tax bills (most of my mortgages are commercial and not paid through impounds), insurance renewals, a new garage door and repair bills (when it rains it pours) for plumbers, I am glad I passed on that last duplex for now.Although it's always painful having to stroke large checks multiple times in the same month, I'm glad my reserve is there.
