I know there has been many nonlegal ways to treat this situation but looks like you just need to ride the courts out.

I loved going out for ride alongs in the trucks, etc., but as a way of life, it's tough.

But, for a couple reasons I'm not going to easily score a "deal" and so it feels kind of like buying a stock to me - and if I'm buying now when we have just seen a 20% annual increase in housing prices, on top of another 10% in the previous year, am I not bound to be along for the ride during a consequent drop in prices in the future?

That is the over riding concern of lenders.

I'm married, have 2 kids and love to ride in my Range Rover Classic, both on- and off-road.Would love to get in contact with people that are also from the Netherlands and are investing in Real Estate.

Sure, you can still ride on the coattails of TREIA in this aspect without paying dues, but it's the dues that make this possible.It sounds like the subgroups might be more of what you're looking for.  

The term idea comes from the second lien riding on the back of the first lien to closing, if you will.  

The past 7 years has been a wild ride but I was able to work my through some difficult years.
