He simply doesn't understand.Your goal, as a creative investor, is to launch your ship into financial orbit ... and then put it on automatic pilot.What kind of believer are you?

Do I just automatically add 10% on day one and pay it as a $11,000 loan instead of a $10,000 loan?

I understand the income tax considerations re: the cost basis of the depreciated properties, I've been told that property taxes might not get automatically get reviewed as they might on a direct sale,  I've talked to a title officer about title search.

I have some contacts and automatic alerts that send me potential deals.

Review the divorce papers as you might not be liable or you might have a claim against your ex.If your ex is on active service then the foreclosure process is automatically stayed or otherwise delayed.

I had my agent putting me in her automatic MLS listings system which sends me daily new and updated listings by email.

They are 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with all the upgrades including: granite countertops in the kitchen and baths, 18x18 tile flooring, nine-foot ceilings, premium carpet, master suite, indoor laundry, automatic sprinklers and fully landscaped front yards.

I determine who gets booted by offering them a property, when they say no I ask why, they'll tell me they want this or that, so when I get a this or that and say here ya it's exactly what you want and they say no again then it's kick rocks loser your wasting my time(If I call you then you get dial tone)I think I remember seeing a program out there in cyberland that offered you to be able to input all kinds of buyers info and when you enter a property info its supposed to automatically match you up with that buyer, if there isn't then it'll be available via a website that I'm having built.

If my current house does not have 20% equity is this automatically a bad decision?

@Joe Bakleh you'll need to look into whether you can convert it back to a 2-family based on current zoning requirements.Just because it was a 2F in the past doesn't necessarily mean it's an automatic approval to go back to a 2F now.
