Scott - I'm a big fan and read your blog quite a bit.

The next networking event for Bigger Pockets members in and around Houston will take place July 16th at the usual spot at 6:30pm.Block 7 Wine Company720 Shepherd DriveHouston, TXI know some folks aren't a fan of the location but it is central Houston so we can draw from all over town.Just last weekend I was having a discussion with BP member Chris Clothier about the caliber of people the BP brings out.

I am not personally a fan of the make higher offer, then once in escrow, ask for a reduction.

Well, they got caught, Barclay, the Bank of England manipulating the interest rate of the London Inner Bank Offer Rate (LIBOR).

I am a big fan of leverage myself but also want to account for worst case scenarios.

I hate to go and tell "the boyfriend" and let the ** hit the fan but I think I gave her enough of a chance to get it together.

However, I'm not a huge fan of living in the area, and plan on moving on in a couple years.

When I first got the property every time I turned on the fan it tripped the GFCI and thus shut down the fan and the living room outlets.

I also own a number of rentals with long term financing in place, but I also believe in having more than a few free and clear properties as well in case the s--t really hits the fan.

I will say that I'm not the biggest fan of 2/1 houses, because generally you have a limited market for both renters and buyers.
