Focus Investing for Ben is his term for "snow balling" one note from your portfolio with CF from other properties within your portfolio.

@Matt DevincenzoI was working in Dallas in August 2011 - I'll take -45F over 112F any day.What amount of insulation is wrapped on this ductwork to prevent it from heating up during a prolonged spell of 90+F temperatures (where it could easily be 120F in the attic space)?

Hope you get the ball rolling quickly!

Looking to freshly install 8 zone hybrid heat pump; (The heat would come from a heat pump until it's 35 degrees outside and then the system would fire up a natural gas furnace inside the house.)Not exactly looking for high end but mid-range.Looking for ball park how much would it cost to install hybrid system with duct (for 2400 sq.ft house of split foyer style).** I understand the variables involved in this, just looking here if any one already installed it and have some idea about it with pricing **thankschris

The word "balloon" is enough to scare me out of any deal, especially when it's only a 2 year balloon.Always be careful investing based on crystal ball assumptions!

I'm one of the odd balls that is no fan of debt.

It needs to come down simple as that, you just be up front with the seller.Subject to is a whole different ball game, I've never done it.

Now after a year once you've met the requirement then you can move out if you'd like.I wouldn't worry about the interest rates right now, no one has a crystal ball that can tell where they are going and when.

Certainly don't want to have a stress ball on my hands for 5%.

If you have to wait for them to find you the deal, get you into the house, then write up the offer you will be behind the 8 ball on a "Hot" deal.If you don't have or want to get a license then find properties on Redfin, or Realtor.com, or Trulia, or Zillow or whatever and call the list agent to see it.
