As a free market guy, as most entrepreneurs are, I think it's ridiculous that free trade is restricted in any way, whether it's with real estate short sale purchases, reselling with FHA financing, or health insurance being unable to cross state lines.  

We wanted to be able to live off of one income in case something happened to one of our jobs or health.2) We have a reserve fund close to 6 months of the mortgage.

I have many cases we have had owners had did not wanted to abide by the property code or the lease agreement or repair health and safety items in a timely manner.One of the things that we try to do with owners and tenants is set correct expectations upfront.

GL susan,  we've noticed a little more competition in the last couple months on the  good deals as well but there are are still some out there if your not scared of the work and from what I understand there are still quite a few foreclosures yet to hit the market.

Title insurance is no different than buying life or health insurance.

That still bothers me to this day, now I'm back with a vengeance.I'm currently in the health care industry and I'm ready for the excitement of real estate.
