I have had a roller coaster ride with mines.

I'd say if you are buying it below market value and it is an area that has seen steady growth over time then generally you should be ok, but at this time in the cycle the idea is to be under leveraged to ride out potential flattening and softening of the market.

It's time to end their free ride.

It has been a wild ride but I’m posting this to encourage people to act even in the setting of their busy schedules to take steps towards financial independence.

I wonder how often other industries drive for dollars… I was thinking about that on the ride to a showing this morning, and was looking at all of the misc. roofs that were covered in moss on the way to Dracut.

Hey @Alberto Furet While I don't hail from the island, I checked airbnb for how well people are doing with their vacation rentals. 

This means asking the right questions to recognize if there is a deal and if its even worth taking a ride down that endless road.B)Understanding what the circumstances/consequences of a short sale transaction really are and how this will effect your seller.

@Kelton Johnson  and were you live.. there is Hail and wind damage and your deductible and foundations.. every deal I have funded in your town had or has major foundation issues.. its not if its when .. and of course none of the location turn key companies mention this pesky reality of owning properties were you have major expansive clay soils.

TBD, based on the giant economic experiment we are in to know for sure if a pullback in the market would be big enough/long enough for investors to be better off sitting on the sidelines rather than purchasing now and riding the coat tails of institutions that are still gobbling up properties. 

Keep riding that train.
