My advice for you moving forward is it to get crystal clear on your goals and to track your lead and lag indicators religiously (read the 12 week year).

Postal Service address,Voter Registration Card,Federal and state tax returns, andDriver's license or car registration.The home is near:Where you work,Where you bank,The residence of one or more family members, andRecreational clubs or religious organizations of which you are a member."

Pulling a HELOC is also an excellent strategy to obtain cash, in fact many investors use this, however, if you do decide to go down this route you need to run your numbers religiously.

Whatever the metric is, start tracking it religiously so you know how you are doing and where you are finding your best deals.

Each program is different and many are religiously affiliated.

Like any other buy and hold deal, you need to run your numbers religiously.

Hi all,long time (religious) listener of the podcasts and also a small time investor (have 5 doors split between Raleigh, NC and Danbury, CT).   

I want to get out of this scene and move into real estate, but I'm not sure what route to take.This past year I've found BiggerPockets and have been listening to various podcasts on the site religiously.

Let’s say you go through with it but someone can’t due to religious or medical conditions what would your stance be.  

Walk away.BTW, I am not religious, but I do know flooded basements and danger signs.
