I had a period in my life that I thought it was a good idea to own an entire street.

sorry....should've been more specific - I am not looking to sell or otherwise to get rid of the property.just thought it'd be beneficial for some newer investors to see what others are doing. maybe they can learn a thing or two from these real life examples.....

Of all the things I fear in life, debt is one of them.

Life insurance is a necessary evil.

If you materially participate in a "personal service" activity (child care, consultant, real estate agent, etc.) for at least three years, you are a material participant for life.7.

If after that you screwed over some little old lady and her life savings, expect to be showering with others and having your mail read for awhile!

I do too now an then.Also the Metro / GA wide REIA I'm also a member:http://gareia.org/membership/membership-levels/I'm member of 2 REIAs because each offers different styles of helping me and networking.Good luck, Curt

What is the worst thing....the lender takes the property, they ding your credit, your credit goes south, your insurance premiums go up, all other credit costs you more, you won'y qualify for another mortgage for a few years, and who knows what other collateral damage there could be in your life......best thing is to pay it or sell and get out and avoid the issues. :)

I always like to get answers from real life 'experts' in the field, that actually work in the business related to the questions.

My belief in life is, if you can't do something good, you aren't any good.
