Ok, now my failure stories (so much cooler than success stories, it's like shark bites you can show your dates)- Couldn't get a loan for my first fourplex because I couldn't get an insurer.

I have one in the portfolio now which was recently purchased as part of a pool and is nearing it's maturity date.

A place the Young,Black,White,Hispanic,etc...can go to feel free safe and secure to explore and release there hidding talents while connecting with there fellow youth and still grasping the tool's  they will need along the way to seced in everyday life.But a location is disclosed at this point of time.

Sorry, but details of the date, time, and location must be published in the Real Estate Events and Happenings forum.

Year to date I am half way there, so I am a little ahead of schedule.  

Yet another is to be direct, 'come clean' about your problem ('I need to buy X before this date, can you help me please?').

I want to focus on out dated homes, remodeling them and bringing them to conform with the already updated homes in the neighborhood.
