I don't know if something will come up down the road, which then we will have to rethink our REI strategy.Just would like to hear some of the communities input.

Something like Bill Brand does...

So I would still look at properties that need a lot of work on market and from wholesalers, and keep sending offers until something will get accepted.  

I have so many questions, I'd be happy to connect and walk you through some things. 

Because if "the body" doesn't pay, we have to get "the body" out and it isn't fun times lolIt's important to build a large portfolio with B class or C class properties because there will always be something happening at any given moment IMO to 1 or 2 properties as I mentioned above.It's just the nature of the beast.I own a nice condo in Downtown Chicago since 2016.Tenant is a Crypto exec.Direct rent payment on the 29th of each month and haven't heard a "word" from him for many years.ROI is 3% tho lolA nice portfolio in the Midwest should deliver a net ROI year after year of 8% or so but it comes with more hassles.Anyone reading that wants to invest with us and only invest in 1 or 2 properties.Save yourself the hassle and us and don't invest 🙏Thanks ps.

Have him write you a check after you sign something saying you’ll pay him back.

Am I missing something? 

You will have to get something like a DSCR loan or other business purpose loan and likely will have a higher interest rate. 

And do not forget that the do not call list is for solicitors who are selling something.

If you insist on SMF, Try to find something as West as you can afford, away from the college and the AF base.
