I don't mean this from a supersticious standpoint - it's just a matter of putting yourself in situations that will allow you to catch "luck" more often than other people, by researching things on a daily basis and working to be the one to see them first and prepared when one comes along.

Let me start with a hypothetical situation.

So I'm sort of down about the entire situation.

It depends on your cash flow situation at home.I like property and am a Buy & Hold Investor (so I am bias).

Imo, contractions shouldn't be used in professional situations, either.

Usually that is more of a wholesale situation.

I also don't want to get myself in the situation where the mortgages are more than the properties in the end, etc.

The first we will discuss is in the situation of the above paragraph – they out-bid the other bidders.

I own a property bought at auction where that exact situation had happened.

Here's a tricky situation...We already own a house and as we bought this townhouse at the market peak it cost us $410,000 - 3 br 1.5 ba townhome.
