I mean, if it all melts down and I loose my job or can't pay my mortgage, it looks like I can pass the buck on to someone else in this new, no accountability financial system.

Job loss, medical issues, forced move, or some such.

I have watched friends that were in great financial situations loose their jobs because businesses where doing the same as your common consumer and are now either facing foreclosure or have already been foreclosed upon.

A Realtor has a listing where the sellers had to move for job reasons, they purchased another house in the new location, and now can't afford to carry two mortgages.

Consider this...you contract a short sale...say you get an option to purchase...previous homeowner moves out..maybe they move on and go rent somewhere else..or take a job in another city.

I would not quit my job until I have bought and sold at least 5 properties.

I got estimates of up to $150 + to do the job.

I am about to take a contractor job overseas but I am thriving to purchase some properties that I can hold on to for a little while.

Good job
