@Joe Splitrock  yes just the reality of owning rentals.. my position is this is not a 5 year program or a 10 year.you really need to go into this with forever in mind.. or at least to they are paid for so that if you do owe guvmit money to sell your taking it out of proceeds and not stroking a check for it. 

In reality the deal cash flows you are just paying it off soon which is great for future cash flow after the 7 years.

The reality is that as a LO it's not really my department, and when you go to drop PMI typically your LO has been out of the picture for several years. 

You have to set seller's reality at times.

The reality is that they don’t, as long as they continue to get paid.For a paper mortgage, I simply mean a note or mortgage agreement between you and the LLC without taking formal steps, such as filng the note with the county recorder.

IE I have no money how do I do this.this is reality.. and you want it told to you straight so you can focus on what you need to do to get the deal done.

My thoughts are that the price reductions are driven by a "come to reality" moment for property sellers versus a true decline in the market or a "bubble bursting."

The reality is that roughly half the population will always be renters just due to a variety of reasons.

@Kavin Kuykendall, I want to commend you on putting in the work to make your REI dream become a reality. 

Kinda need some support or a reality check for my expectations.
