And the energy efficiency thing is probably worth something.

I knew there was a chance that I would spend a lot of energy and money to make the purchase happen, and so I offered a price that was well-worth the risk to me.

It is like being rejuviinated, once you begin to feel it I mean, a new found energy that is all positive in your life.

I hope that you are able to gather the energy to try and recoup some of your investment through legal means.

I think the worst thing that could happen to you would be to hastily buy a cheap property with some no money down scheme just because you're impatient to get started by an arbitrary deadline of January you set for yourself, and then you get stuck with a crappy property that drains your energy and potentially bankrupts you.

@John Hamrin Just my two cents on this John - there are all kinds of different investors and a lot of it depends on how much of their time/energy is going to be focused on just this.

Daniel made a very good point - investing in one market keeps your time/energy costs low since you'll have done most of the legwork on the first prop.

I guess I was thinking that if I did M2M the turnover time/energy/money (locks, cleaning etc.) was just not worth it. 

All my limited beliefs, energy blocks and so forth.
