I'd definitely be intested in hearing what your experience has been if you did go ahead and invest. 

Ben, don't make me throw a head lock on you and throw you on your lap top with a guru slam!

Just by setting up an account you will save over list shelf price.Another thing that I am just beginning to implement is a little more extreme and you have to think a little bit ahead but with a little planning most people can do it and save good money. 

Just make sure you know the dangers of whichever route you take so you can have a plan B prepared ahead of time if things go bad.  

This may sound counterproductive, but you end up miles ahead in the end...and it wa a very short "trip" to that end for me.1)  Sell both properties to an investor to get your cash out...since you have no liens on the properties, you get all the cash.  

Either they start paying, or they move on.But let's not get too far ahead...To know whether or not this approach even makes sense, you'll need to first answer some questions:How much is the total mortgage payment?

The balloon brings the problem to a head, whereas, a traditional loan would allow to you to ride the problem out.

Every neighborhood turns around buy now so your a head of the game.

That system will definitely get you ahead of the curve and cut down your trial and error in this business.

Thanks ahead to anyone that is willing to help.
