@Chris Mason Chris will know.but I think many just refi and move their debt up and enjoy the better rates of first mortgages.also careful on cross collateral.. for obvious reasons.

While it is possible to get a loan for a startup business, it is MUCH easier if you have personal real estate to cross collateralize or some sort of outside source of income that can make payments on a loan while the startup business gets going.

I want to go to her with every t’a cross and I dotted.

Focus on getting various team members to cross check the others. 

I was not looking for an investment infact it never crossed my mind, I just wanted a place for me and my future wife (if i ever find one). 

We invested in 03' just outside of Chicago where I'm from and were overleveraged and wiped out in 08' with the crash but we are doing great down here and looking forward to moving to Charleston soon.I hope to meet you as our paths cross.

@ LanaI would not cross that line.
