Mortgage forbearance is a pause on mortgage payments, but you still owe the money.

Numbers I’ve seen related to median salary and poverty rates have given me some pause about considering investing in the city.

The book BLOWS.This is the deal:Let's figure out a way to cold call as many distressed folks as we can to see if we can buy their reverse-mortgaged properties and put a few grand in their pockets, a few grand in a "TRANSACTION COORDINATOR"'s pockets and so on and so on.It's borderline bottom feeding and it makes me pause to consider the integrity of BP, David Greene and Robuilt Robbie with his awesome hair.I love learning about REI and love what I've gotten from this community thus far but the whole SUBTO tribe wreaks of used car salesmanship.Sorry for the rant but that's just my $.02

Pause . . .

Chief Operating Officer Jeremy Wacksman said the pause was because of "an operational backlog for renovations and closings" that he blamed on "a labor- and supply-constrained economy inside a competitive real estate market."
