I had to change the draft tie to Wednesday the 18th at 8:30 PM CENTRAL time, because I am leaving for spring break on thursday and it is hard to do the draft from a plane....Hurry and sign up we don't have too much longer and if we don't get anybody I will just fill it with random people!!!

I've got quite a bit tied up in the current property.

We used to ride an aluminum scoop shovel tied on to the saddle horn with a 50 ' lasso rope and turn crack the whip corners.

I don't intend to put $2500 down or anything close to that if being "patient" will tie up that money for months.

I want to buy and hold in the long run but I would love to use L/O and sub-to's to pay the properties off right away and be free and clear, but I don't know if that is a smart way to think of it for someone who is starting in the near future and the housing market will be stronger.

I don't want to be tied up in the house for months.

We have seen our basic rights compromised by using fear as a tool to "bait and Switch" during the War and Terror.......We are now seeing the same tactics used with the Economic Crisis.We are also seeing more signs of a stronger federal control of our local governments.

I hire people to do that for me so that I'm not tied down to a "job".In my opinion, I would much rather buy a property somewhere else that cashflows after paying expenses (including management), than pay the much higher rates that people demand (even motivated sellers) here in my local area and not have cashflow.I do agree with Richard that you need to find a good property manager, though.

All of our capital was tied up, we had nothing coming in, and many of the people involved just packed up and quit!

(Ask appropriate questions).If she's willing to give it to you for what's owed just to be done with it, and you offer to give her $100k for her equity instead, you just screwed up, big time.And if she's willing to walk, tie it up and find someone with experience to flip it to because the money here is in the deal and not the rehab.
