do a **** ton of singles and you'll find some homeruns in between, promise.  

Remind me what I promised you in the message. 

Throw in some stock ( even options) and the sky is the limit...Maybe the day job is more bearable or a means to an end when you see it funding your own rental operation (where you are the boss and can kill all the bureaucratic red tape).Plus, lenders avoid unemployed folks like the plague, but they will probably put you on their holiday greeting card list if you are  serial real estate buyer in finance at a big company.If you can keep on your current course (keep down the student loan debt and maybe even buy a rental) it looks very promising.

April 28- We have money, but they decide to only release the first $500,000 with the promise that the second $500,000 would be released once the first disbursement was used up.

It could be simply that buyers are more interested in more promising areas than those mentioned.

You're very new to this and I promise you, that if you find a quality company, it's worth every dime they charge.
