I have traveled the world, tasted some the finest cuisines, stayed at some the most elegant establishments, married to a beautiful woman and father of two children.You see in most instances, I am just like many other citizens.

I'm in Columbia so the travel time and managing my crews at that distance isn't a concern.It's on Linda St, 29405, which looks to be an established working class neighborhood, close to Mark Clark and Boeing's plant.

Aside from handling confidence information, there are tasks that can have larger consequences such as purchase travel tickets (credit card info in their hands, costly if made mistake).

A copy of your loan letter in your offer "package" and hope that gives the owner a comfort factor knowing that you are set to close.I am married to a computer programmer and have a daughter who is in her 3rd year of college at the University of Arkansas.

The property has no mortgage and is paid in full.My market in sunny South Florida but I often travel up to the Charlotte area.

You guys travel too much!

We already knew that and it has been very well documented.One of the big reasons why this was allowed to happen is that the companies providing these loans not only had no incentive to make good loans, they had plenty of incentive to make terrible loans (or, just as many loans as they could) because the entity they would sell their loans to (Bear Stearns, Lehman, etc) wanted not the yield from individual mortgages, but the ability to package lots of mortgages into some three letter abbreviation (MBS, CMO, CDO, etc) and trade that product as an asset backed security.

My goal is to be able to generate enough passive income to be able to "retire" in four years and pursue my dreams of traveling around the world and work part time as a fitness instructor/personal trainer(which is my passion).I'd love to meet more like minded people and to work with people who are also investing in the same locations as me!
