A friend of mine sold his last two buildings to me from a partnership he was in and ended up working for me.

Hi Harrison, thanks for introducing yourself to me!

Anna Runkle I like that you have thought about the Pros & Cons but it sounds to me like you may be trying to “force” a purchase to get in the game.

She sulks off saying she doesn't have to listen to me and I say OK well you will listen to the police if I have to tell her again.I am coming out the house with the remainder check and she has been in the house again as the old garage foot wiping rug is now sitting on the apartment doorstep!!!!

Melissa,I'm a broker in Illinois and have a very relaxed company that I work with feel free to reach out to me and I can tell you a little about myself.

To cut the story short, she mentioned to me that she is stressed out about her current situation with her home.

As an aside, these property managers were recommended to me by a friend and of course had stellar references. 

Without any other details, it just seems easier to me, if you are set on buying property like that

Which is fine, that's 100% a viable strategy, but I've never heard an agent say to me "oh our mutual client is writing a bold offer" to describe what you're doing, instead they say "oh our mutual client is writing a weak offer."

Are there still good buys to me made in this area?
