I've come across a couple of properties that seem to be vacant and through some internet sleuthing I've determined that the owner is absent.

So you were able to live through a couple of recessions in the market.

I've only listened to podcasts on my daily commute for the last couple months until recently.

Probably could have had a couple creative rentals by now.  

Looking for a couple of deals right now.

I've had a couple good experiences, but mostly bad.

I’ve spent the last 13 years or so chasing the rabbit hole of success in the 9-5 world — successful I suppose, depending on the metrics you use to measure that sort of thing.A couple years ago, I dipped my toe back into the real estate investing world.

Hi Everyone, I have been talking with a seller for a couple weeks now and Im about to submit an offer to him.

The only reason I did not move forward was because I want to use leverage for my purchases while they prefer cash, and while their COO Peter was very cool and said they could potentially do my deals, the loan had a balloon payment at the end which is not the type of loan I am looking for.

I look forward to networking with everyone especially in the South Florida area (for now) particularly those that are hard chargers and preferably know of or have a good meetup or mastermind group that I could join.
