Just be patient and put yourself out there.Best of luck,Eric

Hmmmm,I'd say be patient.  

. - Anyone in a situation where they hold a investment mortgage and pay a $600 rent aside because of the satisfaction of the rental. - Were just fine financially for funding a $150k investment home but don't know if we should take the plunge to downgrade to a house hack occupy-remodel job.

Over the last 2 years the 2nd mortgage holder had given approval many times and waited patiently for the first to approve.Now that the first has approved the sale, the 2nd, Ocwen, wrote off the debt and sent it to a collection agency.The collection agency will not budge on their payoff amount demands which is 3x higher than Ocwen would have accepted, and the primary mortgage will not meet those demands.Is there anything that I can do to get this deal completed, or is it just dead?

Could/should I take it out of the equity to buy a next one or just be patient and keep saving for the 20%?

Would I live in a property that had housed an ebola patient? 

The other point is that those giving details is much like a doctor giving a prescription and if the patient takes the medicine the wrong way or it's the wrong medicine the results can change that persons life or even end it.

Not only have I been to Yacolt, I did an inservice with the North Country Emergency Medical Service there, teaching how to communicate with patients who are Deaf and those who use languages other than English.

Be patient and look for a deal with good returns. 

I know I am going against the grain on this one, but having your personal debt paid off(not including the duplex) will relieve much stress in the long run.Trust me I know its hard to be patient to grow, but it will pay off in the end.
