The really simple answer to this question is this: the vast majority of Americans are too broke to pay attention, much less pay their own broker.

I'm in Pasadena and we've had quite a bit of growth in the medical industry lately. 

(Because they are another woman demanding attention/time/things from the hubbies, which the wives don't like)So good on you for using a lady loan originator!

Eventually, people may start to default on their mortgage payments, not from a lack of being responsible, but because their basics of food, transportation, and medical, and insurance payments have all gone up.

I am particularly interested in:1. what types of properties are currently catching your attention for investment?

It's not a reason to not invest in notes, just an area that doesn't receive as much attention as it should in terms of planning cash flow.  

Pay no attention to the keyboard warriors that took a course from a guru that's really not been around the block.

I think there was a medical bill for around $50, too.  

Many people focus on the “entitlement amount” but the more important number to pay attention to is the ‘county loan limit’.

You have to know how to find and sign properties ahead of getting access to those buyers.You do want to do both at the same time so that when you have your first deal, you know someone, but don't expect anyone to pay attention to you if you don't have 4-5 deals at all times.
