Having a rigorous technical degree from a 4 year university is a very strong hedge against your other investments.Getting a full scholarship for maintaining a minimum very B average (hopefully you are doing better than that) is a gift from heaven that you should get down on your knees and be thankful for every half hour that passes.There are other intangeable benefits to a college degree that cannot be realized in any other way than getting a college degree.Most people do not quit their jobs to invest in RE full time.

Oh my heavens!

This place is like REI heaven!

I've read stories of people going through heaven and hell to get the contract and pocket maybe upwards of $10K (which is a big profit in this space as I understand it) fully knowing that the investor they sold it to is going to make at least that and probably a multiple of (not that their job is any easier).For all of that work, and assuming it really is the great deal you are marketing to your investor network, I'm wondering why not see the deal all the way through the flip and maximize your upside and the effort you put in?

Heaven is real (I knew that anyway, just want to remind my friends on BP).

Can't I just do a "satisfaction of mortgage" like a gift from heaven to the original mortgagor?

If its some foreign bank, especially somewhere will little regulator oversite, maybe they are involved.This smells to high heaven to me of a scam.

Heaven forbid something would go wrong and a tenant would sue you for damages from improper repairs.

Heaven forbid if a tenant has to be evicted and causes a lot of damage in the process.

I also try to offset those with buying owner financed cash neutral or heaven forbid, even small NEGATIVE cash flow properties.
