Sure if we have a catastrophic event then things could turn on a dime but without some huge catalyst things usually take a bit of time to turn.

On the other hand it can get people stuck; my grandpa never invested a dime in the stock market his entire life because of what he saw his family go through during the great depression when he was a child. 

Not bad considering not a dime has come out of our pocket during those three years. 

Investor from Minneapolis with 31 doors mostly houses with 6 duplexes. 40% paid in full, 6 units have not paid a dime, the rest are putting together plans to make payments.

I work for Bank of America in IT and have been offered the chance to relocate, on my dime though, to Charlotte, NC keeping the same job and salary level.

What I can say is that the foreclosure process is to indemnify or pay the lien holder for the financial loss outstanding and not a dang dime more.

But I've hit the annoyance factor most reach in their 50s when owning rental properties about 20 years sooner.I am at work coordinating inspections and post inspection, was the appraisal done and could you email it to me, this lender gave me a 3.25% rate while you locked me at 4.0% LOL all of this and I haven't even started receiving a dime of cash flow.Illiquidity is the best feature of passive real estate investing, the 2nd feature being diversification (among asset types, exit strategies, sub-strategies, geography, risk, sponsors, etc.) you cannot do this if you are actively managing rentals.When you are 65-75 years old planning your estate, do you want to leave your heirs (who probably don't know or don't want to know anything about real estate) a bunch of physical houses, tenants, property managers, mortgages, online logins, LLCs, etc.

It's also my understanding all these states with deed sales has redeemption periods that sounds like you'd better not spend one dime on the property and gotta sit-on-it for 1-3 years.

If there is one dime of equity over the senior lienholder's balance, there is no lien avoidance or stripping of junior lienholders.

Found a few potential tenants through the REA who actually helped us find and purchase the place (she was the sellers agent - so we didn't actually need to pay a dime), and after one or two backed out we went with the ones we have in there now that I am very happy with.
