During the last dip in the market, we knew high-earners who purchased beautiful million dollar properties with low-money down who lost jobs and subsequently lost their homes and even marriages.

Oh I'm an investor I bought a house and I'm a clever investor because I only paid 25K for this beautiful house in such and such a city.A year later they are pouring money into trying to keep the property rented and slowly realising they have lost 25K and have a photo of what was once a nice house, never to be nice again.Maybe if more of those people would warn others we could stem the tide of greater fools?

The beauty of private money, as I understand it, is that the two of you can decide the terms and process.

You never know when that pumpkin will turn into a beautiful carriage. 

This property was beautiful, great job! 

The area I am in is beautiful (especially in the winter), warm and close to lots of golf courses.   

Purchase price: $820,000 Sale price: $1,150,000 This is a beautiful 4 bedrooms, 4 baths home at the top of the Sierra Madre Hill next to Pasadena.

A beautiful Home Lessons learned?

  :)   Also West Medford is beautiful but more $ Also, I hate to be a NH hater cause its a beautiful state to be in nature but its "cities" aren't any better or bigger than Lowell. 

Plus the natural beauty is a little better here than in most of the Midwest, although the South has places that can give it a run for its money in different ways than here.Boise and the Spokane/Coeur d'Alene area where where I landed on.
