If it helps it is very rare that any patient on oxygen will survive longer than 5 years.

I do appreciate your wisdom and encouragement to be patient in the process.

We were patient and grew the hold portfolio over a few years time while maintaining significant capital growth via flips.  

Realeflow has some organizational challenges but the foundational product has some nice features that I am willing to be patient to get my hands on.I am more of a turtle than a hare - so I tend to see things through to the conclusion; as long as the business case is still sound.TTFN,Greg

Trust me ... i know how strong is the desire to get into the market and already start doing something, but  be patient or you will end up feeding someone elses desire to  buy a non performing note  for 30c on the dollar... and trust you me he will buy your note, and  rent that place for 50 cheaper than you have with 20% ROI because the banks wont care who they sell your NPN to as by then they will make enough off of your Mortgage.
