I have been actively acquiring Notes for passive cash flow since that time.I like the the passive nature, the safety and the cash flow that I receive from Performing Mortgage Notes.I upgraded to BP Pro & upgraded my profile.

If someone then wants a showing I will say, "great, we will be performing a background check and need a $35 per person 18+ years old applying to live in the home - after we have processed this successfully I will gladly show you the property in person."

If you haven't had a chance to review it yet, check out the BP beginner's guide to make sure you're aware of all your investing options.https://www.biggerpockets.com/real-estate-investingRegarding wholesaling or any of the other investing strategies, a good place to begin is by deciding what market (zip codes, neighborhoods, etc) you want to invest in and then learning the numbers for that market.

As for why to sell, we own lots of vacation rentals in different areas (we just haven't sold any of them), and this is not one of the higher performing ones. 

For the lender to pick up more exposure, they tend to look at the performance in an asset and typically I have seen anywhere from 30-40% down and interest in the 6's.

@Mike MakkarI own several other rentals and so my personal residence could just be a very poor performing part of that business or I could just pay my mortgage payment to the rental business as rent.

Would like to network with real estate pros and beginners in NE Wisconsin.

You can buy performing notes which is passive and collect checks.

Some people say beginners should not start with whole sales.

I would talk to the Board of the HOA and find out if they'll reduce or forgive the fines associated with these violations in exchange for a performance bond that you'll get it all fixed.Most HOAs just want the stuff fixed.
