after waiting the long moment of silence, he came back and dropped his asking price by 35k.

I see something I like and text the realtor and we go from there.what kept happening was I'd see a property I like we go visit- its on the market 6 months no offers and as soon as I like it and make an offer, they got an offer day before- felt like someone was watching me.There was a split foyer on the market for 56k- we just had snow and I think we will take it subdivision can sell for 200- they had 26 offers.So this came on and we waited the 13days and put in the moment it was available to investor offers

I can scrounge up around $5k at the moment for a down payment, and probably a little more as I get some more paychecks in.

The problem is, I currently rent and don't foresee that changing in the near future (Chicago is not the best bang for your buck at the moment!).  

I do not even bother looking at new builds as my cash flow is not high enough on it at the moment, nor is my return on investment.  

I'm working on a few larger deals at the moment: 36 unit, two 14 units and a 6 unit.

That being said we have a lot of realtors in the area at the moment and you will be up against some serious competition.  

Desmoine Boyd Hi Desmoine, I work NELA and san Gabriel valley and work primarily with investors at the moment.

So as I'm in NH taking 6 kids to summer camp (www.FairfieldTrips.org) at the moment, I found a great thread here - which is how I found this website -https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/86/topics/166452-new-hampshire-areas-for-buy-and-hold#,I want to buy up to a 4 unit MF home maybe 5-15% down; I qualify for the FHA First Home Buyer loan ... so I will put down whatever I need ... want Class B property that I can upgrade the units and turn into Class A.Then I'll buy an investment property on a mortgage ...

I am currently living in the east end, northfield at the moment.
