Hmm, thanks again, I'll recheck some Japanese properties and see whether something there looks like it might work out ok. 

There are also deals that can be find on jud.ct.gov for foreclosure auctions but those rarely work out because the people usually owe more than the property is worth or they get cancelled and postponed frequently. 

Since I work out of a home office (for now), I use a PO Box as my business mailing address.  

maybe a failed investment if it does not work out?..

These old houses built 70-90 years ago seem to never break once I work out all the kinks.

The problem is that they are not knowledgable enough to understand that the analysis is inaccurate, but start making investment decisions based on the analysis anyway.That is one of the main problems I wanted to solve with DealCheck by providing a tool that takes most of the guess work out of running analysis calculations and evaluating rentals/flips/wholesale deals that will satisfy 80%+ of investors out there.But going further, I think that tools like DealCheck are perfectly viable even for more experienced investors.

So, if you could get another dryer, maybe even two, and place them in a garage or closet I would work out how to do that asap! 

This provides extra peace of mind in case your upleg does not work out or the seller or lender will not deal.4) Truly retire for real estate ownership.

We send countless emails, and he answers us every 6/8 months saying he will work out a payment plan.

My question is how do I work out a deal with the owner so that I pay him back over time the equity?
