So many things fell through at the same time and it ended up keeping us here.

Overall, even when the first deal fell-through, the house wasn't on the market more than 30 days COMBINED!!!

We were under contract on a property pretty quickly but after numerous extensions the deal fell apart. 

She just fell on my property because she is clumsy (her words).  

I fell into it and I'm a prime example of how a fool can get lucky. 

I do not think this is true... there is a common believe that you should establish an LLC to invest - and then you open a business checking account for your LLC.. other then that - the LLC has no TAX benefits... it is used mainly as an extra layer of protection between yourself and the property..3. for loans - nothing lower then 40% that is correct, however - you should buy first properties CASH, file income tax every year - and that will start your credibility in the US.. fell free to reach for any questions:-)4. correct in most casesGood luck!!

The dryers had a coin slot, but the washers took more money and had a coin slide device.Someone figured out early that year that if you put quarters in every slot of the coin slide and pushed the coins halfway in, just short of the point when the coins fell through the slots in the device, and then put all your weight on the slide and physically yanked the slide out again, the washer would turn on and you would get a free cycle without paying.

Then I sold it after 3 accepted offers and 2 of the 3 offers fell through.

The next step was the $7,500 EMD required, so if the financing fell through we were up to forfeiting $7,500.

In the interim I hope to spend a lot of time in a lot of places, first plan once freedom becomes reality is Tuscany, I was there for a short visit this summer and fell in love with the history and culture.
