The home is not the everyday home you see in the cookie cutter neighborhoods.This is a log home with no drywall inside. 3800 sqft, 4/3 bedroom with a loft (the loft has a closet).

Over time, they've allowed me to use some of what I grew in my IRA to form an SDIRA and use those funds for REI.My bottom line is I think people are using a rule of thumb "Be debt Free" as a cookie cutter "key to financial success" when I think the timing (related to interest rates) makes this the best time ever to borrow money for anyone who is young and making investments for long term growth.

Would you rather put all of your cookies into one jar or into many jars?

Pretty much cookie cutter houses built right after WWII.

It turns out to be the "give a mouse a cookie..." scenario in my experience.

We have our hand in a number of different cookie jars within the RE business, but that's the way I like it.

OR be really nice to all your neighbors, bake them cookies once a week and no one will ever tattle tale on you.

It was a package deal and it took me much longer to find my first deal so by the time I had the deal, my mentoring was over 'officially' but they did continue to help me a bit.A really good mentor will tailor a program for you and not just put you in their cookie cutter program.

Scott has some excellent examples and info on his site (123flip) which could make this an easy cookie cutter method from start to finish.

Shop for price as the Bar has suggested rates and some are off the charts, while others realize it's a cookie cutter real estate transaction and will charge accordingly.
