By the way, some years ago I had some had a health emergency that included a coma.

Maybe with the turtle - slow and steady mentality one day I can get a substantial income and keep all the profit for my hard work.I'm actually looking for land in rural areas to buy so I can put a mobile home on and resell owner finance that way. 

It has everything to do with our economy, salaries for the lower income bracket, and a renters mentality.

Just don't put out a sign and have the public parking out front.Now, if your mother is in poor health you may have another issue, you need to consider Medi-Care rules and her residence being exempt from her qualifying for benefits and what state requirements are from her estate to Medi-Care/Cade.

Again- I do not see any problems with it - unless they are under severe duress, mental illness, etc- and they feel they are helpless and being taken advantage of.

I do understand the mentality of the Realtor where they are trying to make a deal happen. :)

If rates go higher them paying cash makes more sense than leveraging.Ive personally gone to a flipper mentality lately given that the higher prices go, for me to cash out a higher dollar amount to get my cash back lowers cash flow and the risk is to the downside on prices,  so i want to be in and out.  

That is the coolest part about RE investment IMO, and BP is by far the coolest place to soak in that mentality and start getting active!

Percentage wise it is the same for big or small investors so I can not embrace the mentality but to each their own.

A steeper curve generally indicates more economic health (demand for long-term borrowing), an accommodative federal reserve,
