I am fairly new in the Real Estate Investing aspect of this business.

It is great that you're learning about investing . . . not only will it give you the knowledge to make your way, but you'll also improve your business as an agent with knowledge in various different aspects of real estate.We welcome you and encourage you to ask any questions that you may have, and where possible, jump in and answer a few as well!

If a borrower feels that the contingency reserve will not be used and he wishes to avoid having the reserve applied to reduce the mortgage balance after issuance of the Final Release Notice, the borrower may place his own funds into the contingency reserve account.

That's why I've avoided the REIAs and focused more on organizations that are not REI related.

(Which is why I shared the rent raising thing above in hopes that someone else will avoid that mistake.)Next to getting married and having children it is the most exciting thing I have ever done in my life, better than piloting planes, skydiving, rock climbing, caving, etc...
