@Shea Davidson I think what people are suggesting is that you find a note investor to partner up with if you want to learn about the business.

@Thomas S.Would you suggest getting an appraisal and then then taking it to the bank?

You might have her check out Set for Life (which is personal finance, though real estate-based), Retire Early with Real Estate, or Rich Dad, Poor Dad (like everyone is suggesting). 

. :) I suggest reviewing your applications, and then asking your top applicant to run their background using TransUnion Smartmove.

I know what it's like to have buyers flake out, but have not experienced anything like this.I would suggest you go to your broker and get in touch with office manager or designated broker and see what can be done for you. 

But then you need to find food management which may be the more difficult thing to find of the two.I have not had as difficult of a time finding properties as you have described but that is probably because of the market I am in, the people I have partnered with, and the connections I have made over the past 4 years or so.I would suggest finding a mentor, bringing value, and then doing what your shows you to do.Good Luck.

If you haven't, I would suggest you speak with a few mortgage companies to see if you can qualify to purchase it. 

Any suggestions greatly appreciated. 

Every Zillow lead, I call & do not email.Any suggestions?

Also, I have not yet ventured into multifamily however I have my suggestion would be find a good property manager as many of them hold brokers licenses and will know when potential properties will come up on the market.
