I'm looking for a more relaxed and informational group concentrating on how to do stuff from actual local experience, not stuff to buy to "help me" do stuff.  

The Non-QM market place often has prime borrowers who are utilizing Non QM lenders for speed of execution and the more relaxed underwriting.The term hard money has grown to encompass both short term bridge lending an these funding company loans which are permanent fixed term loans.

I'm trying to get back to my roots but not look at it from just muscling my way to frugality but from a minimalist lens where I really do not need much stuff to have a wonderful life.

However, the vacations I took with using them, and the benefits derived (health, relaxation, family time, etc...) has made my REI better.  

I think one of the important factors for investors and where they run into trouble with the "turnkey approach" is that they tend to think its akin to investing in a mutual fund just buy it and sit back and relax...

Its just laziness I guess; I could be a lot more diligent if I wanted and I usually am if things start going south; when things are good I tend to relax my diligence. lolThanks for the input

I've only been around them for 4 years, so that does add up, and I do know some buyers who have bought 4-6 at a time, but then relaxed for a bit after that.

It's thought that "some" who acquire a virus, of any form, sometimes have lingering symptoms of chronic fatigue, joint/muscle pain, etc....for years afterwards.

First rental propertyI like the personal goal of visiting a new country thrown in there - can't be ALL business ALL of the time, need some time to relax and enjoy life as well!

;) Gotta relax a little too, right?
