@Eric Don Thanks for sharing your situation and being vulnerable.

The original version was flaky with rekeying and apparently had some vulnerabilities.

Finding people at their most vulnerable and cutting yourself a deal.   

Nice, real, vulnerable.

You could spend a lifetime building a real estate portfolio and lose it all because you have left your assets vulnerable to each other.Just think:  one bad property manager at one of your properties does something that results in a huge liability for you.  

As long as the top ranking schools and hospitals around my area don't suddenly go up in flames, I think I will be good :)

If it's in Biloxi I have to wonder if the problem is your vulnerability to hurricanes? 

You want a clear title report, you want hazard insurance that adequately covers the property in the event is goes up in flames one day after renovations are complete, and you want your lien recorded ASAP after the closing. 

Second position is about as dangerous, and leaves you as vulnerable, as it gets. 

London had a great run after GFC, yields are low, it's vulnerable, a LT view is required.
