I'm married, have a kid on the way (8 months pregnant), a house (Long Island, NY), 2 dogs (rescue Galgos from Spain), a full-time job that helps pay the mortgage (roughly $2,400 / mo), and a pretty average life. 

It is actually amazing how you can rescue a place after someone trashes it.

Anything that isn't in the borrower/homeowner's best interest may be fraud as defined by the Illinois Mortgage Rescue Fraud Act.

But no genius remodeling is going to rescue you from paying too much.

However an OZ fund can be used to rescue a failing 1031. 

Every year I rescue owners from themselves because they've allowed problem tenants into their property and it ends up costing them more than if they had just hired me to start with.2.

My wife and I had to intervene with our own very significant labor contribution to rescue the timeline. 

My wife and I have rescued 5 dogs over the last couple years, so dog (any animal really) abandonment is a tough subject for me.

They're creating a barrier to entry with the help of local politicians, no room for corruption there I'm sure.Grant Cardone even offers advice on how to buy properties in areas like this.So the government creates the problem and then rides to the rescue to solve it?

I have been a Naval Aviator for 8 years, currently flying the MH-60S doing search and rescue out of Key West.
