My point is you never know what will happen but keep chasing after you goal even when it get dark!!!

So my passion for RE is owning and the thrill of the chase in finding diamonds in the rough. 

We've been able to re-rent quickly, but it is a lot of work and a lot of stress.From a PM's perspective, how hard would you chase or cater to an owner with only a few properties?  

When I interviewed my current broker she named about 5 more agents in the office that are players!

There are lots of Denver Colorado players.

I was working to make the case to the bank that $50K was high because the property needed repairs to the tune of $25K (got nowhere with Chase who bounced me around from one department to the next).

You have Marshal law in Texas we are liberal here in Oregon :)Bonding around this type of action is RARE as hen teeth and just won't happen  the only way that would happen is if the person that wanted to bond around it,  Was a Major and I mean major player in the RE business and strong armed the title company. and Remember we don't use attorneys here in Oregon or the west coast to fight these battles.

Just wanted to add another note.I use my (new) Chase Sapphire card to make these purchases.

For example, Chase maybe servicing a loan for someone else and you cannot assume that Chase is the decision-maker.You have to do some research if the decision-maker is Fannie, Freddie, FHA, VA or a Local Bank.2) Case in point that "short sale expert" agents don't know what they are doing.

Attend your local REIA meeting  and find the big players and ask what do they buy and where do they buy.
