I guess they have a human look over every "decline" the computer does, and mine made sense to do.

I made about 60,000 off the sell of my house and have some money just sitting in the bank.

I have made no deals to date, but I am actively searching. 

I waited until I knew enough about investing, to reduce my risk, before I pulled the trigger and made my first purchase.I'm taking massive action to acquire properties over the next 5-6 years and take advantage of the low interest rates.

My husband and I are new members from the Cincinnati area and have made the decision we are going to invest in vacation property(s).  

Customer service has always been good.

The HOA payments were not made and I got a foreclosure warning for two years of unpaid HOA fees.
