@Johanna Burian like @Wayne Brooks said the bank is pretty much a dead end.

CL has been near-dead for me response-wise lately.

These states will take their pound of flesh if your turned in or caught doing loans without proper creds. 

We let the dead grasses remain through Winter for a nice aesthetic and cut them down in the Spring after the first couple of new shoots pop up.No more Spring mulching, almost no weeding if plastic was put down, leaves blow right off in the Fall and a great curb appeal that many properties don't have around here.

Do not pay off the mortgage instead pull out the equity and reinvest, Money tied up in equity is dead and not earning it's keep.

Not to beat a dead horse here, but it's no secret that Houston (and all of Texas) is growing and growing fast.

I've seen where associations for hard money lenders speak about the use of funds as the trump card to loan classifications, well, they are dead wrong in many cases at the federal level and often at the state level.

Owning a good number of these types of units I have discovered that because all properties are so similar, the 1% rule is dead on for this property type.

If you can not put a young mother and her new born on the curb in the dead of winter you should not be in this business.

But with a month till poverty or giving up my savings, this condo feels like dead weight.
