@Joe VilleneuveJoe, what you posted is VERY valuable, but I’m not sure that the relatively new folks actually comprehend it.

The guy has no knowledge of the Real Estate Industry, he couldn't comprehend that the income of a tenant base had a direct effect on the risk of the investment. 

My problem is going from comprehending what I have read in Personal Finance for Dummies to making it happen in my life with a wife, kids, mortgage, dog, etc. etc. etc.My wife had suggested us starting to use the envelope budget, so we are going to use the info from Mint to create an envelope budget. 

So understanding the math and fact's of everything, expecting politicians to act as politicians, expecting bankers to act as bankers, comprehending the reality of the landscape, makes it rather predictable. 

They have made it easy to understand and comprehend.

@Nicole Davidson I fail to comprehend the disconnect here.

Super simple, super clear, a 10yr old could comprehend it in 10 seconds.

I can't comprehend how a company can be so dismissive of their customers and stay in business.

I am not sure if again you simply don't comprehend this, or something is being withheld. $100k is a drop in the bucket for such an operation, so pieces are not really fitting together on that aspect. 

It's critical to comprehend financing alternatives, the local real estate market, and any applicable laws.
