The problem is I typed a nice detailed e-mail trying to do a basic needs analysis but all he responded with was 10%.

I have been interested for sometime in REI, but haven't brought myself to making that initial leap of faith.My future goal would be to possess a few nice buy and hold properties while taking a stab at rehabbing down the road.

We are also having extremely nice weatherPlease provide some generic information on your 1st rehab :~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~work still in process , number of rental units , buy / hold purpose or quick flip , purchased property off probate or REO , our you part of your local rei club group, etcRegardless ,, welcome a board

(nice one Bill)In regards to jumping into commercial.

Despite being a very nice guy I got the feeling he was looking down his nose a bit at me and my naiveté.This news took the wind out of my sails a bit.

Nice Job Tony, looks like a quality Job.

Nice!
