Happy to connect and swap investing stories. 

Try this like for some ideas http://www.mobilehomeuniversity.com/articles/how-t...One of the others is http://nreionline.com/finance-amp-investment/why-i...And that lends itself to buying and selling paper which is Jimmy Napier's specialty https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/70/topics/774...Pete Fortunato used to give talks at the property swap  group in St.

So, even THAT inflation, wasn't - it was and is price gouging, pure and simple.the BLS would disagree with you that the housing shortage starting with under building around 2000 was artificial. the same BLS is reporting the housing supply shortage of about 4 million today. predatory lending was only a a small part of the Great Recession collapse in lending and housing. there was fraud up and down the mortgage pipeline with little to now auditing and over sight. mislabeled loans in A paper tranche MBS, derivatives, derivatives of derivative, credit default swaps, etc. a lot more complicated that stating predatory lending.no, that is not the literal definition of price gouging. price gouging is raising price beyond what is reasonable from sudden demand. all prices are rising not one industry or one company. that isn't price gouging. that is inflation.

Share ideas, swap stories, and who knows, you might stumble upon your next big venture through collaboration.

We also have in the lease that any new roommates or swapping of roommates requires them to pass our screening. 

We actually got 2 offers - one a cash offer of $17,500 (which we got today) and another an offer to swap this property for a $25,000 note (collateralized by another property), an offer we got yesterday.

My primary heloc is through them, but they seem to be very accommodating for local properties - it's worth asking them if they'd do an investment loan.Feel free to reach out to me if you want to swap stories about rental rates here.  

@Hilary Catton It would be cool to have a book swap discussion board.

Maybe we could swap notes sometime.

Info swap after we get back?
