To answer your question I would sell the negative CF properties. 

Happy to answer questions about Indy...feel free to PM me

@Gene FeltenI'm so new at this and have been soaking up so much information that I apologize for not having much of an answer about lending. 

Listen to the seller and clue in on the reason they are selling.if she won't call back or answer your calls, send a nice letter apologizing (if you think you have some to apologize for) or just something saying "thank you for your time, i would still like to talk to about the sale of your home"....maybe a thank you card for her time and consideration......a gift card or offer to sit and buy her a cup of coffee...... again trying to resolve any issues that may lead to you closing this deal....you worked hard for this lead (i presume) dont just give up!....

I've been trying to answer that question myself for the last few months haha.

Some short answers to your questions:1) Convince to listen to some podcasts2) Really up to you and what you find available that works3) You will still need to be involved since it's your property4) I'd stay fresh of what's going on in your market, run the numbers on your criteria and practice finding "a deal"Lastly, some resources I've enjoyed:PodcastsEpisode 108 - Grant Cardone...

If I could read tomorrow's newspaper today, I would be able to answer that question (except that if I really could read tomorrow's newspaper today, no one is every going to know about my ability :-)).

Hi Tyler,I have this discussion with borrowers all the time, and the answer is...it depends lol.

This is really two separate questions: 1)  To answer the question you asked, yes....you get to choose your tenant. 2)  To answer the question you didn’t ask, which is can you rent to a Section 8 tenant who is a family member, the answer is....maybe.

All other answers will vary by lender.
