Rates are great so it might be worth it in the long play.

Please update us on how this played out.

I get distracted by family and the media.I need to be reminded of my mission and why I play the REI Game to WIN, not to just dabble and waste time.So, I get my coffee, check my email, prioritize my urgent tasks, THENI read this:http://biggerpockets.com/blogs/3/blog_posts/tagged?

I am in the process of putting together a team to "play" in the neighborhood selected.

They should be ok with that.If you have a buyer immediately, you can then have them send in the check if you play your cards right.

I cant imagine the tenant would win huge sums of money...what sort of civil damages are at play here?

It’s game time … just play a little and you will get to the right number with them.

They have to put more money down in order to make sure it cash flows and they depend on appreciation or value plays to make the overall investment workout for them in the end.

The worst thing you can do is start playing with the numbers to try to make them fit.

Tom,As I stated, I was in no way knocking your strategy and I understand perfectly how the game is played.
