To keep asoon to be fragile but extremely important part of the economy up and running, to keep up the properties, to buy more properties, and to keep the sanctuary of these foreclosed home owners to the best of our abilities.

Honestly, the only people I've ever had try to rent a month ahead of time of been scammers on Craigslist.

I think now it is (part of the cycle, to everything there is a season) and I hope we have a good honest auditing.

They gave me a sound and honest professional opinion of my financial life, helping me make some tough but needed decisions.

All I can say is that VA financing is extremely difficult to get through and many banks and lenders want nothing to do with it and don't have enough experience to manage these types of deals properly.

I think another important thing to keep in mind is that after you go to a few of these meetings (the REIA group I meet with meets once a month), it will be extremely obvious which investors are actually doing things- and big things at that.We started each meeting with "open floor" where people could advertise a service, a property, or share a story.My experience was that about 80% of the people in the room where either new, doing very few deals (or getting very little response from whatever marketing they were doing), or just weren't doing anything at all!

That said, I would use caution in the extreme hot/extreme cold markets and might be on the sideline there to some extent. 10% could mean a lot of money.

If you run an honest win-win business you shouldn't have any problems with disclosures.

I am honest and I pay my taxes.

The burden of proof is not in my court because all I did was answer someone's question honestly based on my experiences with actually using the program.
