Scorched earth.

We have a finite amount of time on this earth, and I want to maximize my experiences while I am here.

And each door new is about 45$ - not earth shattering in terms of bang for the buck.  

We have learned to stay away from notes on $70k or less as is value, as by the time you foreclose, hold, and rehab, you are in it for much more than you would be buying the home outright & will make little to no money on it unless you get it for a couple thousand dollars.That is why we shifted to 2nd liens, as you can get a 2nd lien on a nice home with full equity and paying firsts for $0.50-60 cents on the dollar, though again, those prices are double what they were, so we hope the hoards to find another shiny object SOON, so the prices can come down to earth.

Despite my ambitions I am very humble, down to earth and the coolest person you'll ever meet.

I fell off the face of the earth a bit on this one, but @John Woodrich, thanks for the mindset insight.

I'm a value investing apprentice so naturally I'm a fan of Warren Buffet:"In some corner of the world they are probably still holding regular meetings of the Flat Earth Society.

Planning to refinance 3 and buy more but I am finding that property 6 and 7 will have much higher reserve requirements and 8,9 &10 get insane. 10+ can't even be financed I think I can pull off 6 and 7 but how on earth can I ever get 8 much less 8+?!?

As you educate you'll start to figure out what you want to accomplish, you plan on how to get there, talk to people about what you want to do and what they are doing, build capital by working your TAIL off and save money like it's scorched earth so when you're finally ready to make a move you have the resources to lock something down.

Why on earth would you stop and do anything yourself?
