I am not allowed to bring experts in the first (And sometimes only) inspecting visit since they are mostly occupied by conservative families, I am a girl so they welcome my visit!

if its just one note I would go old school.. and just do it by hand.. print out and amortization schedule and just check off when payment is made if its a solid note that pays on time.. before all of this stuff my dad had a girl who did nothing but payment books by hand.. the borrower sent the book in with payment she did the amortization by hand filled in the little book mailed It back.. 

This past February with the birth of our twins and the adoption of our two girls (7 and 9) in the new few weeks I’ve decided tip toeing wasn’t going to get it done.I’ve purchased a few books, and I’ve been reading and working on understanding the real estate ‘language’.

I ponder what I know tend to be basic questions, but it's interesting, as when I search, I'm unable to find answers to what appear to be the obvious sometimes, so thought I would give it a shot with a first post! 

About me:-I work in the architecture/engineering/construction industry and am currently studying to get my architectural license-As such I love old houses with architectural character... but I'm learning quickly from my 1914 home that they're a lot of work-I have two children (a boy and a girl) with my wife, Elsa.

That's 2/3 of my income not coming in for an unknown period of time.I'm also pondering my ability to maintain by paying some of the mortgage and the bills of the building if it remains empty for a while. 

The only issue he posed was that he just entered his first real relationship with this girl, they've been dating for 3 months, lol.

The last two months have consisted of me eating a poverty diet, not having fun because I can't afford to go anywhere, sleepless nights, having to ponder selling my car just to make loan payments, and seeing about $25k of profit go out the window.So what would I have done differently...1.  

Every bank and every loan officer has different criteria, it's a little bit like dating - don't stop after the first girl didn't want a drink with you ;-)

Ponder that statistically money people did not earn themselves is gone in a period of two years.
