It felt (and still feels to this day) like a rare perfect scenario: Distressed homeowner still gets to live in the home she raised her kids in; bank gets out of a difficult situation; I got into the RE business and had instant unrealized gain.

That way you don't have instant easy access to the funds when you get a persuasive impulse to spend it.It's not gonna be fun at first as you'll have to sacrifice some, but as you notice the number increasing you will begin to experience hope and joy and a renewed sense of drive that will push you to better position yourself.Rent too high?

I'm going to have about 20-25k in instant equity from this deal.
