My point is, i'm confident the junior lien is crunching numbers to see if they want to protect their position and possibly bid at sale so, if you are planning to bid, be prepared for competition.

You would want to be close to the arena, the airport, and the hospitals (many traveling healthcare workers).

We spend money on that one or two things that matter to us (like travel) and cut expenses on things we don't value (like clothes and fast food).We each brought different assets into our now combined portfolio.

So at least I’m getting a confidence boost.

You'd want to ask your lender if there would be any impact and if they're confident you have the cash to close on the purchase of your primary.  

Here's my answer using a story I wrote/use for this very purpose:Two people, a REI and one of those two 20 somethings (thought I'd connect this to your story too...LOL), at different times, traveling down the same road. 

Then forget it exists until they call.... or don't. either way you are confident in that someone else paid more or you get to take it at a price you like. 

I'm assuming you're going to try to refinance to exit the hard money loan - are you confident in your numbers?

I work for Gov agency and travel a lot.
