And if you can be patient it will reward you greatly.

Be patient in this market.

I am a big believer in being patient on the buy - aggressive on the paydowns as my tenants pay me monthly cash flow in the present and monthly principal reductions for the future.

I patiently waited, and when I finally purchased my first four unit in Lyons, IL, it was a home run. 

When calculating the patient's eligibility for medical assistance, they included the worth of the home and the patient was forced to pay more out of pocket each month.I offer some advice from my personal life - don't put this off.

I will definitely stay patient in the search for property #2 when the time comes.

I want to encourage you to BE PATIENT DURING YOUR SEARCH. 

With that being said, I think this is a great lesson as a new investor to learn the value of staying patient and waiting for the right time.

I waived late fees and was patient and things worked out but it was hard.

I could be patient and wait to find a deal not unlike how this one first began.For instance, she bought the property at auction for 80K.
