Clark County is fortunately one of the few in NV who report real estate data for direct mail lists.There are over 18,000 absentee owners with property in the county.

Fortunately I had two properties right next to each other with the exact same rehab done by the exact same contractor at the exact same time.

Hello @Libby Wolfe, what a positive attitude you have, I have heard lot of people in BP podcast say they were fortunate enough to lose their job!!!

Well, I've been fortunate enough to have an expensive, I mean extensive education, but wracked up a LOT of debt in the process.

The example you cited is likely to be very rare, I do not know the circumstances surrounding it but my guess would be that that deal was financed for 5 years, maybe 10 or whoever got it was extremely fortunate.

I feel really fortunate to be able to pull from the shared experiences of this community as I try to navigate my way through this field. 

I was fortunate to stumble upon Bigger Pockets yesterday and get the push I needed to get myself back into the game. 

My name is Wayne and I am a former Air Force pilot, who currently flies a desk for a Fortune 500 - Top 10 Company.

I picked up our completed taxes yesterday and fortunately I know enough about our taxes that I was able to look them over and immediately could tell that several items were wrong. 

It made for a frantic couple days to make that happen but, fortunately, I did.I'm not saying all banks would require that, but I suspect many would.
