To spend the time and money first to me seems to be the cart before the horse, and finding out you dont like horses, and wondering why you spend so much time and money getting the right cart, and never buying the horse.

Hope and faith is what defines the human race - but, assumption is mother of all foul-ups.

I think part of my reluctance to "put in my notice", as my day job is being self-employed in what I consider the rat race, is that right now only I can do that.

You cannot discriminate against "Protected Classes" Source of income is not a federally protected class. the federally protected classes are: race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status or handicapHowever some states or counties have instituted additional Protected Classes.

Slow and steady wins the race...

Entitlements now represent over 60% of the total outlays by the federal government.When will the voting public realize we need to ride a different horse?

Horse-feathers as my grandfather would say.Skimming over the aspects of finding a note, negotiating a price, getting agreements and assignments signed, calling the borrower and introducing yourself is not an education, it's an enlightenment to the process.Now, hopefully everyone knows why I seem so negative when someone that has no finance knowledge, very little real estate knowledge and a lack of business experience posts to say they want to get into the note business and begin next month after some crash course.If someone is a technician in some field or a business operator, perhaps an airline pilot or a computer engineer, there is no way I could step into their shoes in a month or probably a year and do what they do.

This gives me even more motivation to get the place rented as I race the agent to find a quality tenant and save myself their commission.

Is this meet a dead horse ?

My Broker asked me if I'd ever been to the drags (he raced Baja 1000 each year).
