Would you: 1. put more money towards paying off mortgage 2. move on to the next house with better numbers/cash flow, take my medicine and learn from this. 3.

These buyers qualified for loans based on payments that may have been artificially low due to an introductory rate or an interest rate buy-down.

Assignments helped to drive real estate prices into artificially high values, forclosures are on the rise because of adjustable rate mortgages, and the bank is stuck with a property that isn't actually worth as much as they lent on it.

He then loses the property, and in the ensuing audit Jim Bob Bank discovers he bought the trade lines to artificially pump us his score.

A missing medicine cabinet, an unpainted ceiling, broken jets on a tub, etc.

I'm currently transitioning out of my crazy, 100+hr work week, job to doing locum tenens (temp jobs for docs) and pursuing my broker's license.My short term goals include:1) Not falling back into "employed" medicine for the convenience of it.2) Finding our first flip or wholesale3) making new friends in the REI world, learning as much as I can, and making a new future for myself and my spouse!

ALSO - maybe the landlord pays all utilities, which puts the rents artificially higher than market (are the rents at typical market?)

My goal is to create passive income and build assets so that I can take time off from medicine and relax a little more.

My personal opinion is that rates will remain artificially low for another couple of years.

And that's not an ideological statement, it's just a fact.Enormous advances in computer understanding and artificial intelligence are raising the specter of job loss that will easily outpace the 8.8 million jobs lost during the Great Recession.
