A deal killer is a voice of reason when you are emotionally attached to a shiny object (it could be a property or a new guru course).2.

Bought a house that sat vacant for a while and renovated it over the course of a couple years.

IF the lender does find out the lender can choose what course of action to take.  

Was going to purchase a course but want to get my feet wet first.

Right now its slim pickings in real estate for properties that will cash flow or see any significant appreciation. of course they are always out there but a lot harder to find.The other question is why do you want to continue to grow?

And of course, these would be hard to answer in a public forum.  

You can also usually count on rents increasing enough in around 5 years, so that you do cashflow.Of course you have to watch out for over-leveraging and going bust!

You will learn a lot during that time that will help you grow and mature besides the course information.

From a leaky roof to a backyard jungle, it was a crash course in problem-solving and patience.I bought it for $145,000, powered through the chaos with a hard money loan, and sold it for $180,000.

So I say selling is most likely your best course but regardless, to grow your portfolio stop doing 15yr terms.
