I only bring this up b/c a wholesaler acquaintance of mine wondered why he couldn't get the "motivated sellers" to part w/ their property for his asking price, no matter how much he bargained w/ them ...I'm interested in getting feedback from others on this..Aren't you guys tired of the dumbed down approach to wholeslaing taken by gurus?

Anyway, how do you guys bring them back to Earth if you see they're not fully aware of what exactly they owe?

That equity could have been cashed out and put to use if I flipped the property but instead is parked in this rental property so there is some opportunity cost there that brings my true yield down further if you factor it in to calculate the return on equity.

Thanks for bringing that up @Ben Zimmerman i do plan on upsizing my family, my mortgage broker brought the second FHA loan to my attentions so thats what my plan was but regardless of how i will absolutely make it happen.

I grew up driving by Taliesin every day on my way into school bringing an intense appreciation for architecture.  

I literately use 17 tubes of caulk in a 650 sq ft apartment to try and block places for them.Rough trip down memory lane, but yeah.. you aren't the only one!

Agents need to be protected and paid to bring the buyer.

The reason I bring all of this up is because of the opportunity I see.

Thus investing locally for me only makes sense if its in line with my goal of cash flow, to help bring me closer to the next property.If your goal is cash flow to retire, you've got 66% of your business giving you the middle finger on that goal right now.

I feel as though I could benefit greatly from a group like this and hope to bring something to the table as well.
