Just remeber even with the most solid investments, squat  happens so always under promise and over deliver...happy hunting

You may either need to make a house-hunting trip if you want something to move right into or wait until you get here to start searching.  

In short, the best weapon in this hunt is you...

Its a bummer, but now I feel a little bit more comfortable with talking to sellers and I'm on the hunt for the next one!

Hello,  I am on the hunt for multi-family properties for buy and hold in the West suburbs of Chicago.  

Wholesalers provide a needed service to both the owners of properties neglected by the Realtor profession, and investors who do not have the time, talent or inclination to hunt down these opportunities.

We will need to do some serious hunting and rehab to get a good cashflowing property in Houston.  

After some time hunting I was able to find the owners name and phone number.

Probably which ever one your plumber feels most confident about is the best.PEX is said to outlast copper, not sure what that's based on but if you want good background to ask detailed questions of your plumber check out the replies in this BP thread: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/84/topics/176...I'm sure your plumber can find the galvy to PEX or copper fittings they'll need, the challenge will come from finding a threaded galvanized pipe joint in your wall that is still in good enough shape to be unthreaded without crumbling from being rusted together.Good hunting-
