The quicker you can make an offer the better.  

Sometimes the local attorney knows contacts or people that can get things fixed quicker.

Keep a positive and aggressive mindset - I believe that the quicker that I make good decisions the faster the acquisitions will come. 

Later when you have some experience under your belt and can move quicker, then you can then buy from wholesalers. 

Especially if interest rates went back up to those mid-teens levels that I hear they were at in the 80's when I was just a kid.Or, maybe there is still room for financing rental properties, and the fact that an interest rate jumps over a period of time from 4% to 8% or whatever, is countered by the fact that the price has dropped 30%, or 50%, and you just have to put a little more down up front, and there is more incentive to pay it off quicker rather than go get property number two.I'd love to hear what some people think.

So, our buyers will get a better deal so we should sell better and quicker.

I had a house under contract about 2 months ago and everything fell through at financing stage due to banks bureaucracy (foreign earned income and having relevant tax returns in place, they didn't accept the prior years returns and needed the lastest ones but we file for tax season here 3-6 months after the US so its a mistiming, I have resolved this and will be back next month with another offer), so the only advice I can offer from my limited experience is that ensure you know exactly what is required from a financing stage, and private lenders are generally more flexible and will more able get you into your investment quicker (at a higher cost).Would be great to hear how you investment forray into the US goes!
