After that, i decided to take my ball and go home.

@Edgar Barbosa, congrats on the decision to get into real estate investing and getting the ball rolling. 

Now if you really want to “ball out”, use an FHA Loan on a duplex or triplex first.

It just takes that 1st property to get the ball rolling.  

Issue a "3 day" rent demand notice (or whatever your jurisdiction requires) in the LEGAL, PROPER way and play hard ball with her regarding late fees, rent payment, and altering your property (locks). 

I plan to visit sometime in February so would love to get the ball rolling.

@Aimee Tarte  I'm with Chris, get her broker on the phone as she dropped the ball multiple times. 

Unfortunately, someone dropped the ball during the checks for this property and that is why we have licensed professionals for each respective area due to nuances in the law. 

Being aggressive and "low balling" in a sense is not a problem.  

I would appreciate any insight to what strategies I can use starting out once I graduate to get the ball rolling.
