Hi Bigger Pockets, I need to read about both sides of the real estate investment coin. The overwhelming majority of posts appear to illustrate that investors are making the right moves all the time: every property is flipped for profit, rented with good tenants, or refinanced with a pocket full of cash at closing. I hardly ever read about the horror stories. I met an investor from BP. Her partner hired crummy contractors and their group have no money to continue. I'm trying to refinance out of a HML but my credit suddenly dropped. I'm sure we will figure it out. We can't be the only one with issues... But, what are the other horror stories people on here have experienced or are experiencing? How are you getting back on track? How did you get achieve your goals? What is/was your solution to your problem? This is what I want to hear a read about. I want to hear about the setback, the struggle, the hustle, the plan, and the path to success...
