Apparently there were many calls from the for sale sign asking the owner to consider renting it instead of selling it, so I feel like this will rent quickly.  

I will call my SDIRA this week.

I called HUD's asset manager and that's what they said...but that seemed like a customer-friendly approach, and HUD isn't the most customer-friendly, so I had to confirm what I was told.

You want to let the seller know you are interested in not only buying their home but also willing to negotiate a deal that works for you and him.That will make the buyer want to call you before calling any other realtors or investors. 

I feel your pain on the listing, time seems to creep by waiting for the agent to call and provide news.

However, it's a bit misleading to some just to take the total amount of "potential" rent when you move out and minus it from your fixed costs and call it positive cash flow.Matt  

This is your opportunity to take advantage of a new construction called Madeira Bay Phase II.

It's called the Professional Investors Guild, and I think it has a nice group of folks who regularly attend.

I was wholesaling deals in Dallas, TX and was able to get access to comps through the paid service called Propelio.

I actually have people who keep calling about renting it so that doesnt worry me too much.
