Two things I remember that probably don't happen today: -First property was a no-doc loan, technically low doc because you still had to provide information but with 30%+ down pretty much anything you wanted was yours.

I can totally see why you may have felt ashamed, but the reason these forums exist is to share information.

@Kunal Saluja we've got a map with a lot of information at our website:)

It often takes new organizations similarly long times to get that sort of information.

Quote from @Joshua Thompson: If it helps, I asked many clients this same thing and learned the clients who spend time each month updating books and records are the ones who spend less than 30 minutes preparing everything for us. 

If you have information please send it over!

I informed the guests that I would refund there cleaning fee because the cabin would not need to be cleaned. 

It would also be important to network with other investors, stay informed about regional market shifts, and leverage any available incentives to maximize my investment potential.Good luck!
