Quote from @Jonathan Greene: It means there is a pending bankruptcy that has to be dealt with before the sale so they continued it and there will be a new date.

Once I hit that goal I'll take stock of how much I like scaling real estate vs. how much I dislike my job, and make a call on retiring vs continuing to scale.Your goal is both hard and very realistic.

This property will be the first of many, and we hope to continue scaling in Cincinnati over the next few years.To start out, our plan is to buy and hold a cashflowing 2-4 unit property using a DSCR loan.

(Some have argued that the actions of the Obama administration were illegal taking.)The main problem with having it controlled by the government is that it has been, and will continue to be used for political purposes, right or left, depending on the administration.I'd rather see it outside government control.

As long as I can get my target numbers without being pet friendly that is what I will continue to do.
