If so, what number would you guys throw at him?

i wouldn't bother...if you are concerned, throw some seed down, but i dont think its necessary. the tenants will probably trash it anyway.

Ideally you want to get in before prices go up too much and get out before builders start throwing up sub divisions on spec.

If it's in the 30's, 40's, or worse, you could have a pretty hard time getting a loan because the new debt will throw things out of whack.Conservatively, it would be better to buy just one first and get it stabilized.

The audience, as most of you know, will be primarily sellers and investors.

The person is represented by a realtor, and I assume once I throw around terms, the realtor might get nervous and not deal with me.

Let's say I really didn't like someone, I go the bank, buy their mortgage, tell the guy to send me his payments and throw them away.

I feel like throwing away rental property leads is a waste.

Connecticut, parts of NJ, some of western NY and Long Island are all pretty easily accessible, but I don't know how to find out what their policies are regarding renters (basically I'm concerned with how hard is it to throw someone out if they don't pay or cause mayhem, but if there are other things I should be worrying about please do point them out to me.)I think for my first building or two, I should be buying in an area that is close enough for me to drive there to take care of issues.

I wouldn't be surprised if they made rounds to jobsites this year and started throwing around $32k fines.
