Yet I would say its the realtors that bring the business to mortgage brokers, so the reverse could be said (all you did was push paperwork for the client I sent you, why should you make 2 points on my buyer's loan when I did all the work).

I figured they were trying to push themselves through.

I keep it washed and clean inside at all times. 

I have also put just about every penny I have into this so I am definitely committed.We are currently managing about 20 properties (and growing) and every day has been a blast...even the ones where I was covered in dirt and mud after fixing the sod we just laid before the torrential rains came and washed it all away.Oh and did I mention I also serve in the Texas Army National Guard? 

The City has skipped making pension payments and pushed the costs of governing off. 

I need a little push in the right direction.

My awesome business partner and friend @Justin Kilgore is former Navy. and the list goes on with other individuals who are from different walks of life but has a common passion in REI and are pushing to their goals. 

The longer you hold the property the better the Agency financing is, but for holding periods 5 years and under it's a wash (with holding periods of 3 years or so better with Portfolio Financing).The bottom line is that it's better to get the deal going than quibble over the terms, ESPECIALLY if the deal is a value add property for some reason.Too many investors step over dollars to pick up pennies.

The interesting thing about this article is that its statistics also suggest that people who are renting should be buying - but that is also great for people with rental properties because the values of those properties will continue to be pushed higher than they already are in what most are describing as a heated market across the country. 

Yes, many of them wash out...but some go on to be quite successful in their field and get to be quite good at locating great deals, estimating rehab costs and passing that deal on to other investors with plenty of meat on the bone...even without a license and while still operating primarily as an individual.
