However, due to my health issues (wheelchair), I think we need to strive for an even greater income stream in our future.But I'm starting to run into a few problems...finding a lender to finance a fifth home (we have 3+ our current home), reducing the loan acquisition costs, finding properties that provide a similar return in a market where prices are going up, and finding the funds to invest.I have found on-line forums on different subjects to be a terrific way to learn new things, and I expect nothing less here.

As a result I currently have 2 properties under contract, deals that I would have to firm up within less than 2 weeks.Unfortunately, my joint venture partner has been experiencing health issues recently, and although he will finish the project that we already started he will not be able to take on any new projects.That puts me into a real conundrum as I don't have any active construction experience and these flips are about a 3 to 4 hour drive away from where I live.

@Stephen Marshall my credit score is 750 , I got my savings up to 57k in my Goldman Sachs account , and another 11k in cash and 8500 in my Roth IRA , the problem for me is income , I make 28k at my pizzeria job and 15k as a home health aide .

We not only lost our hard-earned money but on top of everything, our health suffered, I had several sleepless nights due to the stress and anxiety that this horrible experience created for my wife and me.After the buy-back was completed, I approached Maverick to at least help us with our losses by requesting us to give back ~$6000.
