So helpful @Pavel Shemyakin, thank you!!

Thanks @Jay Hinrichs. I'm doing that. Still asking here :)

At this risk of outing my foolishness, here goes:

I trust that I should be targeting homes that are close-to or fully paid off, but I can't wrap my brain around WHY. Math stuff, I think.

If someone is struggling and they still owe over 50% on their mortgage, wouldn't they be more eager for me to take the burden off them? Or is it that I'll have to pay off their mortgage and they'll probably want me to pay the home's market(ish) value, so it's ultimately easier to not have to convince people why that just doesn't work as an investment.

If I pay off their mortgage, would the home need to be gifted to me or something? 

I'm just not able to play all this forward ...

Thanks for insight and helping me conceptualize!

@Account Closed, I see that you have posted 19 of your 20 BP comments within the past 24 hours. Add that to the facts that (1) your profile photo has a shutterstock logo at the bottom, and (2) the comment you left here is obviously trolling, I'm going to conclude that yours is a sham account. After reading your other posts, my guess is that you have some issues. Save it for somewhere else. Good luck!

@Levi Kidder, So glad you pointed that out—def seems like a sham account who's trolling some other posts. Prob a man as well, which I say just from impression after reading other posts, not because I'm criticizing whether it's a m/f

If she can get somewhere to send the check, she can probably get somewhere to borrow a phone. Doesn't exactly seem like an ideal roomie ... Plus, even remote villages have cell phones these days (generally speaking).

Have you just said, "Hey, I'm worried about scammers because there are so many on CL. Do you have a FB profile or any other way that I can verify you're a real person? It'll help me get a feel for if your offer is legit. Is there any possible way you can find a way to call?"

I'm just curious if you decided anything with this? I'm in a similar situation ...

More power to you @Melanie Hartmann!! I am SO DISGUSTED by all the people who jumped at the opportunity to immediately judge your actions as wrong. So many successful people tell you that you need to go *all in.* I wonder if you would have gotten such a horrendously negative response [from mostly men] if you weren't a poor, ignorant female who was taking the awesome risk of BETTING ON HERSELF.

Ugh. Done. 

You're awesome.
