I've posted numerous times that properties have a way of waking up and saying "looks like a good day to spend a few grand".

That includes taxes and HOA, which you mention, but numerous additional items you're skipping.

I had it for 7 days, almost chucked it at the wall on numerous occasions, and ended up taking it back and getting the BB Pearl, which I love.Next one I get is going to be an iphone, though.

Having numerous small equity stakes in properties is a different thing entirely, if that is what you actually mean.Being a lender is all about risk management, which necessitates understanding the investment from every possible angle.

@Robert NorvellHi Robert,Our group has bought numerous properties in 2013 and as soon as we see foundation issue or any signs of past foundations issues we walk away no matter how good the deal is.Thanks

All of us have gone through numerous credit and real estate market challenges.

I'm speaking specifically of North Carolina (Research Triangle, Charlotte, etc.).

I used to sell paint to numerous home builders including Toll Brothers.

Yo can search Josh Canwell in the search button and you will find numerous other threads where I have documented exaggerations and outright untruth. 

Also I host a monthly event called the Triangle Deal Maker Sessions (DMS for short) where wholesalers present non-MLS properties.
