I just finished paying off a bankruptcy from divorce and was feeling pretty good to get a loan for 4.25% in 2019.

I also find it hypocritical that anyone that has declared bankruptcy to get debt forgiven (screwing those that he owed money) is giving others financial advice.. 

You’re wanting to reorganize your basic financial situation - outside of bankruptcy.  

It is untenable for Private Companies to make a profit without buying another company that is leaving Florida and then declare Bankruptcy to Steal the companies leftover funds.

Think about it, if she somehow could deducted the principal then she would also have to declare it as income when it was repaid later...it isn't an expense it is a loan, the income is the interest and the principal payment is just a return of her own money.

Was it all a primary residence, or did you list a portion of it as an investment asset (with depreciation taken and rental income declared)?

Personally for me, the idea of investing in real estate isn't really about getting "rich" so much as it is just about being well diversified and having multiple asset classes and possible additional sources of income streams (I know the pains of poverty, bankruptcy, and being unemployed).  

Not understanding that through TROs, bankruptcy filing, and state foreclosure laws a defaulting borrower can tie up a property from 18 months - 4 years WITHOUT making a payment4.

Make sure the owner is not in bankruptcy.
