I feel you, I am also taking my course online I am using real estate express as the coursework provider.

So amusing when they get all riled up ^_^. 

The county site I am using already is showing a court judgement in favor of the lender... as if the property owner is already out of luck and in 2 months during aution their property will be gone.

I also read Rich Dad / Poor Dad round this time which motivated me to buy a rehabed turnkey rental property in a class "d" neighborhood about 2 hours away from my apartment for more than it was worth which was a financial stalemate but a cheap education.You can imagine the looks of conflicted amusement on my neighbor's faces when I had $120k of cars out front of my 800 sq ft townhouse that was probably worth $100k (looking back, if I lived in a warm area, that would paid for a Ferrari afterall - curse Michigan snow!).

I was amused by what they found in the tenant's toilet that kept getting clogged.

Being a female, contractor/developer, I must say this thread is amusing.
