Our first 2 deals in '08 met the 1.5% rule but are in a sketchy area that has provided more than its share of anxiety, expense and a massive learning curve.

That will satisfy my husband's desire to diversify and help me manage my anxiety about taking on debt and jumping into the MF pool for the first time.

What I mean is, I feel like it's slightly more than stretching the truth if I create a website with an "about us" page that sounds like we actually do the things that, as of this point, we only want to do (but we're working hard on finding the right deal, the financial backing, the way to put it all together from purchases to sale, etc.).I guess my anxiety lies in the details of nearly every aspect of investing.
