You may have to tighten your belt in some other areas of your life but soon you will quit burning $300 every month.

I've been burned before in showing a place and then the client used another realtor to secure the deal.

But not a bad rate..If he doesn't want to drop pre-payments and you really want the financing (and you plan on holding), try to negotiate a declining prepayment penalty for the first few years when you expect it will have no impact on you.If he's trying to invest money 30 years at 6% secured by real estate, send him my contact info and I'll give him a nice fat note secured by my CA property and give him pre-payment penalties for the first 10-15 years..

House burning to the ground; call the Fire Dept.

She lived, he only burned front of it, saved most of it.

And, I don't have a lot of deals under my belt, so maybe I just haven't yet been burned too badly.

I say former just because I burned myself out working a full-time job and trying to do RE full time and one paid more than the other at the time.So, now I'm looking into the future with investing.

I am not aware if they are ACTUALLY more dangerous or not, but haven't had any issues (for example, electric burners stay hotter longer, even though they don't look hot - easier to burn a kid accidentally?).
