@Nickolas Burns Keep in mind that funds don't hold you back from buying.

Meaning, if the home burned down, the insurance company would pay the private lender off.

@Pyrrha RiversCongrats, Thank you for sharing with us your first.So Happy with your action taking decision & burning desire to make it happen.

At that point, they have failed in dealing in good faith, that's how the get burned.

During the night, the previous occupant came back and BURNED IT TO THE GROUND!

Many of us in the startup sector have been burned (crappy IPOs, our equity watered down with each round of funding, etc).

(This couple also had their house burn down in a fire this past week). 

I agree with Troy, have done this a few times with occupied units where tenants get burned out at price points that attract lots of window shoppers.

It didn't help that their website was poorly created with illegible rants, stock photos and no real faces.So I quashed my burning desire to turn the clock back by a year and I moved on.A few days later, another LinkedIn came back.

This was the same time I was dealing with the same insurance company on a different rental house that burned down that was being rebuilt and at the time was threatening to cancel my insurance so I was overwhelmed with that whole fiasco.
