The common theme here is that I was patient and bought when prices corrected/crashed, not when they were crazy.

I was patient and let him get a little behind after 4 months of on-time payments and then a few months later the payments stopped altogether.

Those who want to do a deal may not be willing to do it right away, so stay patient and just check in with them periodically.

It requires some capital to invest, making smart decisions, and being patient.

I hope you like smokers, because they all smoke like chimneys and have no regard for flicking butts on your property....eventually my parents went on a trip and of course the sober house people had a perfect view of them loading up their luggage, and what ya know after 25 years of not a single crime...they were burglarized, by a homeless junky ******* that was friends of one of the residents or was a previous resident....The sober house operators were ******** and not cooperative....their are more than a few of their patients were loud obnoxious gang banger types, giving the hard stares and intimidation types of attitude.Lastly.... on more a general note... the affordable health care act made some seriously horrible changes to the way insurance can deal with addictions....it used to be that their was a limit to how many sober claims a patient could make, and then the insurance company turned off the tap....now, a patient can relapse as much as they want and the insurance has to allow them back into another sober program...it essentially incentivizes the sober programs to fail, because it assures them a steady flow of repeat customers.Lastly, I found the few sober house operators that I came into contact with, during this time, to be vile phony insurance fraudsters and street urchins, acting like their title made them actual healthcare providers.Just my 2c...and sincerest apologies to the 10%(if that) of the industry that are a really providing a quality and ethical service.

@Taylor Chiu  I currently work in the healthcare field and did home health for a while and saw patients in numerous ALF's in SFR here in california. 

I want to add to my portfolio intelligently and patiently, making sure I don’t over leverage.

I can also say I'm very persistent, patient, and I ignore negativity.

I will be patient and wait months, still cheaper than replacing all carpets. 

If you are patient you can find something that needs some work
