Also, I willdefinitely frequent your blog!

Repeating that you "will not tolerate" them paying the rent as they are allowed to do so under the lease you gave them and signed could be viewed as tantamount to harassment.  

A couple of things, my investors agent in IN im working with is also my PM so he actually would stand to make more money in the long run managing my properties than bidding poorly on a deal for higher commission plus repeat business.

This investor might be gambling that you miss the balloon date, he forecloses, he keeps the down payment, and he repeats.  

@Brendan Morin  nice work this is exactly what many should do in high priced markets instead of buying a long way away.. with FHA 3.5 % down many can buy right were they live... live in the place a year refi then rinse repeat. and end up with 16 doors with max leverage and great long term fixed rates... 

The stock market is very close to efficient, almost all the information is out there and studies have repeatedly shown that beating the market consistently is a rare feat.

That said , some agents build their entire business around investors, as it is great for repeat business. 

What are your thoughts and experiences in bringing capital from 3-5 investors to buy homes at court house auctions.My reasoning for this is that closing costs and high interest rates usually eat up most profit, If I can find 3-5 people that can invest 15k to 30k it will allow some of us who cant risk more that that to invest and build a bigger investment pools.Homes at auction ussually sell around 75-150, atleast thats what I'll be starting with, and should yield about 20-40k in profit. rinse and repeat!

It would take an unlikely and unreasonable effort to match their results in very brief amounts of time, though they are the first to tell you that their results can and will be repeated by investors time and again.But recently, I've come to adopt a more grateful worldview.

If you're an investor you can usually negotiate a lesser fee (less than 6%) using the possibility of repeat business as a negotiation tactic.
