It is getting to a stand still.  

So we stand still and do nothing when the right and profitable course is to take action.

The experience of taking off from a standstill is a thrill.I have an old school 2001 SR20 with steam gauges and ICDS2000.

I am seeking advice and I hope anyone can help me as I am at a standstill with my decision to move forward.A little about myself:25 years old single malePre-approved for 100k 3.75% Fixed DHM Loan requiring 3% DP w/ No PMI40k in Liquid Capital10k in Savings/investments (can be liquidated if needed)9k in student loans leftCurrently renting home with mother & sisterMonthly Expenses: 1k Monthly Income Saved: 2-3kMy mother has been renting all her life (currently 50yo).

I knew this point would come where I would be at a standstill with the bank, but I thought I would be able to figure something out.

kevin, i agree with you...my business will be at a standstill until i can trust someone and also part with the money that i'd need to pay them..that being said...i just finished a rehab and put it on the market, i'm finishing up another in a few weeks, and starting another one in a week..at the same time, i'm completing a rehab of an apartment building, and as these apartments come available for rent, i'm the one that takes calls and shows the apartments to prospective tenants...at the same time, i still collect rent door to door from all my other tenants and handle maintenence requests...and i went to the driving range the other day as well :) point is, there's plenty of time in the day to do many things if you get your crap together and try to stay focused/organized...all the books say to build a business and hire out, but i don't think that's realistic unless you start with deep pockets...after a few years, sure, you can do that, and i look forward to doing that in a couple of years myself..but for now, i don't mind doing everything and saving that 40k i'd pay a fulltime employee :) i think i'll grow my business more by saving that 40k each year and getting to reinvest it, rather than paying someone

From an objective standpoint, real estate in the smokies should be at a standstill, and it mostly is.

Additionally, with the fed dropping the rates, indicating that the economy has come to a standstill and in need of a push, it might be wise to consider a possible economic downturn in the next 1-2+ years.

And are currently at a stand still on acquisitions since early September.

We negotiated for a little bit and came to a standstill.
