They should have given you a heads up, but I would get used to doing it.

Even if I stay $100/bed below the next door neighbors I'll come out ahead and the tenants will think they're ripping me off.

It is what it is, whatever small potato we have to say is not going to change, we just ride the wave so to speak, but having a good look-ahead might trigger us to buy and hold something.

I am a cash buyer...been contacted recently by 3 different wholesalers trying to sell me the same property...each one has a different price...not my usual type investment but I went to look because you never know...the first guy didn't have a key so we had to stand on a bucket and climb in the window...in spite of my better judgment I went ahead and said I would take the property at his price...then I get a message that the price he quoted was wrong and it was a "clerical error" and the price is really higher...the other two supposed wholesalers have contacted me about another property without clear title but I want NOTHING to do with them now...they are all working together to sell class D houses...just don't jerk me around...it is not good to piss off cash buyers !

Starting now, you could graduate with an awesome score, and be so far ahead of the game.

We've gone ahead and added to our real estate forms directory:http://www.biggerpockets.com/real-estate-forms.htmlThis should come in handy for many people.

Thanks for your help ahead of time! 

This is a lengthy post, so apologize ahead of time.

My personal opinion would be to invest and save for investing ahead of spending money on luxury items that are a liability.

@Manuel GonzalezGoing ahead and renting the property without the COO is a terrible idea!
