keep it up jordan. focus on getting that 1500 paid off and start stashing cash away like crazy!

Yeah, I like a good sized stash of gold, silver & platinum, as well.

Are we better off waiting until October when we reach the two year threshold in order to stash the 50k for later? 

Assuming you weren't working with some jokers like the mortgage division of a credit union, big bank, or internet lender, and assuming that the actual issue wasn't DTI with the new payment, that actually should have been perfectly fine.

It's good you have money stashed away in savings and a roth.

If you don't want to spent the $100 or so for the coded deadbolt, you can buy a key lockbox for around $30 and stash it somewhere on the property. 

Now instead of just moving a piece of insulation a little to the right, this joker took a picture, printed in color, had a computer arrow put in, and then warned the buyer about it.

In that, Granite came on to the market and had the first real platform of sales, opposed to broker joker circles, where the investors were all pitted against each other on a first come first serve basis.  

They expect you to be able to sell one or two of their vacuums to your own friends of your family, whom they could not otherwise hope to reach as customers.So the gurus are feeding you a lot of hype about how to find deals when all they really expect is for you to tell an established flipper that your Aunt Martha's friend Juanita's neighbor Billy Ray just died and Billy Ray's sister told Juanita's hairdresser Marq that she just wants to get rid of Billy Ray's old house because he had a huge stash of transvestite porn in his basement that she really, REALLY doesn't want to go through and throw away to get the house ready for retail sale.What do you want to do in real estate?

I have decent savings stashed away, but would like to have more.
