I also invest in real estate on the side and have 1 multi family and look to add more as well as do short sale flips.

Ready to cross over to the world of multifamily buy and hold, rehabbing/flipping, land development, REO/pre-foreclosure/short sales....If it's a deal...we're there!

Was it a short-sale?

I can usually get all my seed money back plus some equity for the next project.My suggested short term goal for 2014: find a great local agent that owns properties, have them find you a REO in an area that you would live in.

Also, I want to learn about short sales and the foreclosure process.

It sounds like you could make do on the short term (ie a year or two?)

But I'm open to learning other methods, too: flipping & wholesales, short sales, etc.I look forward to learning from all of you and then hopefully putting that knowledge to work.

No equity deals are, for acquisition, sub2, lease option assignments, or short sales.

Long story short, I am flat broke.

Does anyone think I should keep them or am I being too hasty to get rid of them especially since they are making a good profit.It's all up to what makes you comfortable at the end of the day.Life is too short to worry about things -- you only have so many days on this earth to be happy, might as well make the best of them.If you like the profit but hate the problems, then it's just all about eliminating or reducing the problems.
