This can’t last forever.

If someone represents themselves as private lenders, check them on NMLS consumer access to see if they are licensed.

I'm great at reading people - that comes with playing millions of poker hands in my life - if my gut tells me things do not sound right then I pull away.But a scammer has to expose himself/herself because they don't wanna hang around forever.

A lot of the owner occupy loans require you to live there for at least a year, so it's not forever. 

I see you guys are having issues as investors, wondering if anyone has had experience on the consumer side?

This is getting very tedious and time consuming.

This not only looks nice but also lasts forever.2.

I now completely understand the differences, and while consuming real estate content for the past week on this topic, I have also been leaning towards multifamily and this further cements that.

It also would take forever to recover the initial negative equity position.  

That way they can't dangle the carrot forever.
