To explain all the methods by which these deals come my way would be too lengthy and not the point of my response, but I can share that with working with so many clients (Almost 4000) over the course of 20+ years and creating relationships with these people creates opportunities for them to let me know about any properties that they're aware of that are owned by a friend, family member or acquaintance. 

We are in an area with high turn over due to the market and don’t anticipate any problems filling the property. 

Getting that money was a lengthy process(months), but they finally got it all to us.  

One of my friends is currently going through a LENGTHY court battle to get his approved. 

Thus, I feel my introduction is long overdue.

I have had lengthy conversations with my builder about the concerns you guys have had and we have adjusted accordingly or better yet I have been given the knowledge to make sure my builder and agent are doing it right, without what you guys have advised I would just be a meer bystander at the mercy of my builder hoping he’s doing it right but instead I am able to know he is because you guys have told me what to look for and make sure of. 

Conversations about integrating real estate and retirement planning is long overdue.

Long overdue, but yes.

Most don't have the resources to fight lengthy foreclosures, if they did they probably wouldn't be in default.

If not, what would you recommend as an ideal bench mark.As far for your fancy footsteps, I would not mind to pay to see that and along with your long overdue upcoming courses =)
