But my life changed when I had a brain annurism and a stroke.  

with the plan of earning my CPA... and now I find myself becoming more and more interested in REI...Please, if you don't mind, could you suggest in broad strokes, what should I be concentrating on/side reading if I want to combine the two, both for myself and a future client base?

Dominick there is different strokes for different folks.Not knocking what you are doing.It's your perspective.

And P.S when i assign a deal im involved all the way to closing til the last stroke of ink on the closing docs.

IE gift of money for down stroke

If your willing to take back financing with a down stroke, you can make a good residual income......I suggest rent to own if the regulations allow it.

Here is the situation:I know an older women who had a stroke and is currently living in her daughters 5th wheel so that she has assistance.

In the meantime I am recovering from a brain aneurism and a stroke.  

@Chris Strokes - Thank you, I will lookup Capital REI in Fairfax.

satisfaction of mortgage' would be ~= the reconveyance.Different strokes for different folks :)
