The nice thing is your equity will likely grow quickly in the area. 

It’s doubtful you would have been able to foreclose if the loan had been contested and you lost.According to all the lending attorneys I know, this is the most popular lawsuit in private lending.

I would forget about growing the portfolio and generational wealth until your husband finds a job and you reduce your credit card debt.Credit card debt has interest rates above 20%, there is a strong case that your rentals are not generating a 20% return.

Most of the negative feedback on BBB has to do with their lack of responsiveness, which could be a growing pain issue since they are affiliated with at least several large REI groups that I am aware of, so are presumably overwhelmed with new business right now.
