I've actually enjoyed living in this high-density neighborhood -- more privacy than an apartment or townhome, more social and walkable than a suburb. 

Can you actually sell your Air BNB as a business?

We actually keep a pantry pretty well stocked with basics:  tea, coffee, cleaning supplies & laundry stuff, cup of noodles, ramen, soup, oatmeal packets, microwave popcorn, spices, bottled water, lemonade mix/crystal light, etc.  

What's more, these contracts were never recorded before or during the foreclosure process, and the homeowner was actually in default on the first mortgage when they entered into these agreements.

There is evidence and provable data that the earth rotates the sun.You have no actual evidence that what you are saying is accurate.

Ok, well I guess I have no advice seeing as you don't actually need money. 

That to me is true wholesale.. buy it and actually own it and then resell.

Many people are actually cash out refinancing and LOOSING the great interest rates they have on their 1st mortgage.

I actually helped a fellow realtor finance a STR in Johnson city and she seems to be doing very well.

That + reading Start with Strategy and filling out the accompanying workbook to help me actually visualize and write down my goals with a plan has really helped me a lot!
