I had time to prove myself.But there is something to be said for bonding time when the suit or tenant is with you shoulder to shoulder pushing your car to jump start it on your way out...

Were a lot of those improvements funded by public bonds or private money?

I'm trying to strengthen my mindset. 

I think hubzu is ocwen (huge) and title companies are bonded.

Good luck on liens for that, next time, hire a professional - meaning licensed, insured, and bonded -, not someone from the streets.

But as time passes and you get more equity (good thing) your ROE decreases to a point where you might as well be in bonds for that amount of headache.And I'll tell you after having 10 turnkey rentals that there is a CAPEX tidal wave that kills you in year 5-10. 

During this time, I would probably make sure that I took advantage of the cash infusion, and shore up my reserves, and diversify the investment in CDs, bonds, and other investments that are relatively safe in the short-medium term.This is one perspective, so I'm sure that there are others that have different thoughts.

Current method: Put money in bank account that earns 1%Idea 1:Invest the money into a bond or dividend stocksIdea 2: Reinvest the money to help with another down payment on the next property.

This will make holding costs rise but it also reflects a strengthening of the economy.
