I found an excellent property manager and started running it like an actual business.

I currently have investments in Notes and funding of renovations for other investors for an agreed percentage  of sale price profits for a win/win situation.

Now I'm ready to take my leap to see if i can gather all the information and excel in this business.

While I would love to move my portfolio and I to Florida someday due to the excellent price to rent ratios there, until that time I may end up buying in Spokane, WA, which is about a 4 hour drive from me.

Right now, I am very active in the Rent To Own program and find it very rewarding both from a financial perspective and helping people get into their own home.It’s a win win.

They are an excellent source of information.

Excellent points, @Jeffery Breglio and @William Hochstedler!

Both of those properties were in excellent condition not in need of any repair.I'm a little concerned that Ocwen will not come off their list price of 349.

Hiding behind contractual technicalities and perverting the law for self benefit never wins.

I have an excellent credit rating and my debt to income is 28%.Should I refi now (before 2016) or wait another year?
