If we cashed out one to the max, paid off the other's mortgage in full through escrow, you would as of the moment the new loan funds have 6 financed properties AND get a bunch of cash at the end of the transaction AND we just delayed you hitting that 10 financed properties hard cap AND you owe me a beer.Alternative to the above: portfolio lenders, commercial lenders, hard money lenders.... with rates/terms getting crappier and crappier as my list progresses. 

Hit some bumps in the road along the way needless to say that deal fell thru as I was out to sea and couldn't handle the issues that were popping up.

My tenant hit the garage and it killed me to not be able to drive over and look at the damage.

Part of my longer term strategy is to over the next few years build up a good brand and relationship with brokers and home buyers in my farm area so that when a house I'm brining back to life hits the market, everyone wants to see it and put an offer on itI guess I'm looking for guidance from those more experienced ...will having this same brand on my direct mail pieces be a positive or negative thing?

Hello my name is Randy and I currently reside in Northern Va.

JD you seem to have hit the nail on the head.

Otherwise you could be hit with a special assessment that could break your heart.

I have a few RE quandaries that I could use some help with and I wasn't sure where exactly to start this post but I suppose this can serve as my BP introduction as well :-)  By way of introduction, my wife and I own a townhome in Northern Virginia (6 min. walk to VRE station) that we are contemplating selling (more space, expand family, etc.) but we're not in a position to sell right now.
