@Neal Royal that's fantastic...I'm glad I shared this.

Our realtor is fantastic, but the foreclosed house is owned by a bank and their realtor is horrible.

As was mentioned, Movement Mortgage is awesome and I have a lender there that I've worked with personally and is fantastic at what he does.

Those who DCA - dollar cost average (and most do into their 401k mutual funds) won't get clobbered as they have been averaging in and over time this will smooth out all the volatility.Most people nearing retirement should be gradually shifting out of equities into something more of a fixed income flavor.Listen, I prefer RE over the stock market, however I have constructed over many years a fantastic stock portfolio of great companies that throws off income (dividends and distributions that grow annually) on a monthly, and quarterly basis that I will utilize to supplement my passive income in retirement...Days like yesterday (and today) are more like buy days, as if you look around you can find great value in these sell off days.

Fantastic info.

If it's permissible, it's a fantastic idea.

Despite having a solid track record of analysis and execution as well as the ability to personally guarantee loans due to a fantastic W2 job, I am struggling to raise capital apart from banks.I would really appreciate some insights from those of you who have felt this same frustration.

Any suggestions would be fantastic! 

  $410 / month in cash flow on a "no-money down" deal is fantastic in my opinion. 

TransUnion’s SmartMove is fantastic...I just screened a couple that wanted to rent one of our units and it was super easy.
