Good thing I had no money in the Market then as I witnessed a number of people go bankrupt on margin calls.

Hey @Melanie Stephens, I have stories ranging from having six figures stolen from me from a "mentor" that turned out to be a scam artist, to having a four-unit building wit on the southside of Chicago with every unit being occupied by gang member squatters.

WITNESS my hand and official seal. _____________________________________________ (Notary seal) Signature You will also want authorization to speak to the lenders and insurance company.

I know that's not a LOT, but I do best with checklists and systems, and so I am looking for an inexpensive software I can see to keep track of things such as deadlines and due dates both in the offer and due diligence stages, and for use wit tenants.

I've witnessed a guru friend of mine posed questions as he is peeing in the urinal and at a funeral too.

Also if you work with someone and you talk directly to them about being a partner or investor wit you, you are also fine.

I would recommend  getting the  refinance in process / approved   but  dont lock a rate  or  pay for an appraisal until you locate a new property you want to buy ...by doing this - you can  get the refi proceeds  quickly  when needed  in order to close  on the new  purchase wit cash
