I had started planning to do a consignment store online for plus size women but that fell to the wayside a few months back.

There are markets that have as yet recovered from the collapse of real estate however a market such as mine,( resort, high 2nd & 3rd homes), never fell off more than 5-8%.

I bought my second property in 2013 with the intention of living in it for a year and renting it out, however I met someone, fell in love, and that home turned into our personal residence, so I didn't get to rent it out.  

I attempted to do some of the remodeling by myself and...fell from the ladder with a bucket of paint on my head.

I found BiggerPockets.com podcasts and instantly fell in love/obsession.  

I fell off the horse but would not discourage anyone from trying the program.

Banks are limited and Quicken loans backs out of the deal at the 11th hour, trust me, I refuse to accept an offer with a QL and it's the regular buzz in the office that 'another deal fell through.'  

William Collins this 6 unit was on and off the MLS for a while. 2 previous buyers fell through for one reason or another.

You may see signs of gang activity, drug dealing, prostitution, etc.
