I'm better than most, but far from great.Anyway, I was in Israel and as a team building exercise 5 teams of 5 played the national chess champion simultaneously.

I would still be exercising regularly but I severely broke my ankle last year causing exercise to be incredibly difficult.

It may be cheaper to work with them and/or exercise their rights of redemption, especially if they have any equity left on the table.

``When it is time to exercise, Take your profit (Say $10K) in a note and record it.Create new Buyout agreement of your interestCreate new lease and new option with Seller and TBer.You get paid when the house closes escrow.No double escrow and no transactional funding.

At the time I didn't think to negotiate on some aspects of the agreement as I didn't think it would cone to exercising it but I was wrong...anything can happen and change.

Even though I have no short-term intention to exercise them, you never know what the future holds.

These exercises will help you, to narrow your focus, so you can concentrate your efforts on learning what is necessary to achieve and become successful.

While properties like this sit vacant and deteriorating because of bankruptcy or title issues, I could exercise my right collect rents and get the note performing again.  

My time is now rather empty, save for exercising and study.

Do you really want to borrow money on a 30 year note for exercise equipment?
