The nice part is I could easily float the mortgage with just extra money that I am socking away now so even if I was tenantless I'd be just fine.

I have even seen an ebook floating around that describes in English how to navigate their Japanese-only website.

I floated the idea to her today and laid out the arguement that it was better to never own a home as we can't spend the equity.

The explosion would leave nothing but floating pieces.

If they really want to leave, why don't they get on a raft and float to Cuba?

Are there loans out there to float me for a few months until the house is sold?

I explained what I had and that what I wanted for my trouble was 7k (I knew 7k would float me until the first deal was complete and would give me a fast turn-over).

And they aren't close to being done, they started taping and floating last week and figure they'll lose money on it!

They tear out walls, do very bad paint jobs.Somewhere floating around on the web are photos of "the golden throne".

Two reasons:1) The deal side of things is just less interesting to me than the rehab side (I like the idea of creating something that is tangibly, physically better than what was there before).2) Pursuing the deal side too aggressively starts drifting into areas like the last post in this thread.
