I don’t know how I did it, except Mommy told me to and except I do keep my nose to the grindstone and except I’m glad it was 2002 and not 2006 because I was sure it was a bubble then too.  

Hopefully will get my nose out of the paperwork and allow me to focus on growing.

Certain cycles will have certain symptoms, just as a cold causes a runny nose, coughing, etc...

Chris you hit it right on the nose.

When the real estate market took a nose dive years ago, I bought several rental properties and financed them through a local bank.

Cash is always king, and if you have your own cash you can avoid having to pay out the nose to a hard money lender potentially.Two, one of the great ways to sneak into your first few deals is by being an owner-occupant.

Going to explore some more potential networking connections and put my nose to the grind!

Hard to believe, but homes sold in that environment.Unemployment I don't believe was anywhere near where it is today back then.In my opinion, problems today are mostly due to excessive govt intervention - govt sticking their noses in where they have no business.Today feels very different, especially with govt run amok like it has.

So, unless you have yourself a very good deal, you'll end up paying through the nose for your property over time and having a very unprofitable deal.

We had a few broken arms (on one person), legs, fractured vertebrae, etc. over a period of years.
