They have no way of knowing if you're just a tire kicker wasting their time.Tell them you want to LOOK at everything under $-----.

Short term, long term, income vs growth, passive vs active, tax implications, etc.Sounds like you are tiring of the commute, and the propertty management responsibiilties.

No tire kickers...been there & done that!

It's an older couple that are tired landlords and are ready to get out, but they don't want to owner finance.Asking: 445,000 for 11 houses (all shapes and sizes; a few duplexes, mostly SFRs)Cash flow: 1,544/mo on the whole package (calculated with 100% financing at 8% in the BP calculator)Cap rate: 12.96%Does anyone have ideas for how to finance the purchase of this package of houses?

You're an absentee landlord, and a tired one at that. 

We all started where you are frustrated, tired, begging that something has got to change.

Just tired of the clientele.

I am really tired of spending thousands of dollars on appraisals, surveys and title policies (that protect lender only).
