If you need to fight off a dog, they are most vulnerable in the eyes, nose, and testicles. 

@Jeff Kehl I agree that deals are more likely to be found in that range, just gotta keep the nose to the grindstone.  

Invest in yourself and network My first year in the business I put my nose to the grindstone and spent all of my time working on my properties to get them rehabbed and rented.

Opinions are like noses.2.

Their noses are in books all day, they distinguish themselves academically throughout their youth.

I had an interesting conversation with the COO of a new marijuana company about rents, and he said they knew they needed to pay through the nose for property and those things were all baked in.........see what I did there? 

Condos are usually the last to benefit from a booming market and take a nose dive during downturns when banks stop lending on them.

My question would be how do you know what your payments would be if you have not yet qualified for a loan because if you were already qualified for a loan then I do no see the reasoning behind your question about qualifying for a loan. 

So you get into "A" neighborhoods, but can pay through the nose.

POL came on the scene and they were doing HML at very high rates and points in NJ .. so my back ground other than recreational private aviation that I pay through the nose for.. :)  is HML  and I am thinking wow .. this is going to some heartache and sure enough some of the folks that posted have done like 10 loans and 7 are in default.. the foreclosure time in NJ and NY two states I personally would never be a lender in is 2 to 3 years.. and by the time you get the asset back its ouch time.. and that has played out for some folks and there is a high profile one in Atlanta that has been going on for years.. suppose to sell at 6.5 million and its listed under 3 now.. although I think they may get their principal back or most of it but its been 2 or 3 years.. and you know how investors get stressed.. and then the other issue I saw coming with crowd funding .. and remember my background is I have owned 2  Hml companies over the years one of them in Oakland CA with 250 clients and about 50 million under management.. these guys went about raising money from 5 to 10k investors and would literally have 20 or 30 investors in one loan..
