It's all a smoke screen. 

For example, if you believe smoking cigarettes is bad and will kill you, it would be very painful in your mind to continue smoking.

or maybe you don't worry too much about it because you have a die-hard lease that ensures the tenants don't smoke on the property?

The Reason it took me a year to pick a company I was going to jump into this game..was my ads was getting sore from all the smoke blown up it..until Home invest..compleye and total honesty and Transparency.

Would you eat a smoked brisket cooked by a vegan?

Two loans were taken out: a bank was primary lender and then a smaller loan with owner financing.I hired a contractor to repair the roof from fire damage, encapsulate the smoke, dry out the building, and perform mold mitigation.

My realtor gave me smoke detectors for all the bedrooms in the duplex he helped me purchase - much appreciated, and nice he noticed they were absent.  

Which, quite frankly, is pitiful.Happiness is knowing that I can live comfortably, my money is in the form of a tangible asset and even if the bank closes its doors, my properties are still my own and don't go up in smoke.

@Michael Quarles - Holy smokes. 

WE are absolutely smoking it in certain markets because of this one thing you are not going to get far with 500.00 EM deposits LOL .. getting homes with very nice equity at least as good if not better than a letter campaign and it cost us only computer time its free.
