And I had some middle east clients that could not pay interest for religious reasons. 

Many times I have been in the home they choose 3-4 times for previous sales years ago, so can tell them all about updates, etc.I think many people are getting ready to have a rude awakening in the coming year or two and when people get burned with no representation or loose a lot of money.

I have religiously listened to the BiggerPockets Pod cast for a long time and even read some of the books.

I listen to your podcast religiously and have learned so much.

They claim they are religious (he is a youth pastor) and don’t smoke (but they look like the do) and image wise are tatted from head to toe and don’t come off like they say. 

The following night at 1am I was awakened by sheriffs pounding on my door & was arrested for trespassing.

Whether the question is “normal” or “worthy” is more of a political/religious question.

In most areas of the country, both vacant and improved land will have some kind of property taxes (minus religious organizations and few other exceptions).

It also opens you up to one of the major ways to lose in this business which is a forced sale down the road because the property doesn’t pay for itself.I’m not religious about cash flow but this is a lot of risk you’re taking here.

Then you have the letters that get very religious trying to appeal to the Christian side of things..
