In the modern world, its a shame!   

I included the description of the calculator because it probably does a better job than I did of explaining why average rates of return are a sham.  

Give people a place they're not ashamed to live in.

My desire is to step in and potentially purchase the house / take over the mortgage so spouse 1 can continue to live there, and I can rent out the other rooms (hopefully giving spouse 1 a good deal on rent and some monthly payment) The current loan is also at an awesome rate (2.75) so it would be a shame to lose that.

It would be a shame to lose that interest rate and probably will cost you more in the long run.

It would be a shame if you finally find a property and get offer accepted to not obtain a loan.You never mentioned your fico score other than strong.

So I figured it would be a shame to let this property go and that there was still potential for profit so I did what an experienced invest I would do.

Maybe get rid of the dog then…It’s a shame because their application is superb.

They're simply unlicensed real estate brokers gambling that nobody in authority will find out that they're ripping off the public.Do all the back flips you want to try to rationalize what wholesalers do, but no matter how you slice it, defrauding people of their equity is a shameful way to make a living.

After atrocious corporate buybacks for the past 6 months.I heard the markets been great for landlords for the past few years - should have saved.Yes I am also an investor - and I am ashamed at the way “investing” works in the world now - investing with other peoples money.
