You've got the best moderators on the internet here.

But just imagine, you buy 3 properties at a moderate discount, say 20K each with individual FMV's of 35K.. you now have 305K worth of property and owe 170K, and still a great deal of borrowing power.

It wont' be my main email used of course but I would use for things REI related.as long as moderators didn't have access to love letters that I'm sure are to be sent to me :0
