It does get easier with experience like most other things.

They tend to be a lot easier to work with and more flexible than banks.

Within 2 days I received a letter stating tenant1 has been removed, there didn't appear to be ANY investigation by Sec8, etc.

They are offering something that appears to be an extension of my homeowners policy to cover the rental.

Is their an easier way to locate properties that are cash flow positive that are foreclosures?

It appears to be a good market.

But assuming they are similar to ours;First it appears you have a deal through something 2013, but your buyer has an option to renew three times?

You may find it easier to have someone else negotiate on your behalf.

If you can do the @mention for some people, but having difficulty with JScott, here is the trick: you need to type two characters of the user's name as it appears in the post heading; in JScott's case the second character is a space!

There are ways to do that (giving money to a Hard money broker, real estate backed equities, etc)... but getting 9 partners and buying a million dollar investment is definitely not one of them.Partners, especially a LOT of partners, greatly complicate the process, they definitely don't make it easier.
