FAILURE is also sometime determined by perspective...When planning the NEW openings for the I wanted to make, I stood in the kitchen.  

I have yet to listen to a bad one but here are some that stood out to me.Episode 6 - Arthur Garcia - FT job & InvestingEpisode 8 - Al Williamson - profitable & ethical landlordEpisode 10 - J Scott - flipping 101Episode 29 - Dawn Anastasi - Peer to PeerEpisode 36 - Kevin Perk - profitable landlordEpisode 54 - Lisa Phillips - investing under 30kEpisode 61 - Ben Leybovich - multi family investing

He paid the full year up front, and the first quarterly inspection was fine - the place was kinda messy but nothing stood out as an issue. 

He paid his friends to come over to replace a front door, while he stood there looking stupid and he actually was stupid.

I was wondering what F & D stood for but after analyzing the spread sheet some more I realized you were using them as a variable.

One being you had a FEMA flood policy (not a private market policy), two your house was flooded and three you had the ICC option which is the Increased Cost of Compliance (I think that is what it stood for) and what that is...it is where FEMA will pay to elevate your damaged property up to a certain amount. 

When tough times came in 2008 they stood with me.

I've had applicants who have simply turned their little darlings loose to run through the place, opening and slamming closet doors, hanging off the door knobs while mom and/or dad stood back looking overly exhausted at their offspring. 

I stood on my own two feet since 18, paid my own way and bought the houses with 100% of my own money that I saved from a high income career I had built.Fast forward 7 years later, a slovenly, low income guy at my company just inherited enough money to buy a hand full of houses from his wife's family...It really is amazing how just mere luck can catapult some people...Mind you he is still nowhere near my net worth, but still, it stings a little to see someone just get a huge leg up by chance...

To raise the ceiling you do away with trusses--so I had to bring in jacks a gluelam beam and necessary 2x8's to support the roof.
