Not until my portfolio snowball grew after first buying with smart leverage.

@Christina Rogers  smart move a real estate sales career you can do all your life.. most wholesalers shelf life is lucky to be 6 months... there simply is not enough inventory for everyone who takes these courses or thinks they want to be a wholesaler to go around.. your all competing against each other..

Suddenly that is $625 a month extra cost (across a 24 month hold) of saying "I did the smart thing and bought something."  

It’s refreshing to have a touch of it, like a nice framed map of the white mountains or framed photos of the area, but to overall have a fresh and clean and crisp look is a very smart choice.  

I try to be smart, I don't listen to others, I listen to data, evidence, the signs of the universe.My model I truly believe is the best thing to do!

They are probably smart enough to wait until the court date, then they'll scurry off 1-2 days prior and move to the next victim.I manage 400 rentals and this doesn't happen to me because I don't listen to excuses or play games.

I fall into their camp (not the smart guy camp, the guy who has nothing to sell!)

I looking for any personal experinaces you are willing to share with me the good and the bad not wanting to look at this investment through rose colored glasses.

House hacking is so smart and you absolutely can offer your room for rent as well.

When you are young buy smart "Never" buy above your means buy a starter home and once it appreciates in 2-3 years refinance pull out some cash and step up to a bigger/better home.
