Spent many a late night reading.  

I ask these questions because I spent 3 years as a commercial mortgage broker and need this info to point you in the right direction.

I have seen cases where when I was assembling commercial land for development  and although per the contract the buyer (developer) was due the money the seller spent it or would not give it back.

I even spent 45 minutes with the seller running through the numbers and discussing creative purchasing options.

I've spent all summer reading up on it and now I want to finally do something.

After reading that I pretty much froze up and spent a lot of time trying to find listings that come anywhere close to it.  

Neither of us called you personally dishonest but apparently you took it that way.I'm not against education, I've spent a couple grand on it myself.  

I was inspired by friends who were doing well in real estate, so I spent all of my “free” time driving, running, cooking, etc listening to these podcasts, which helped me cope with the lack of work/life balance and to discover a way out of this corporate nonsense.Fortunately, by listening to Josh and Brandon, as well as other sources I’ve found, I’ve discovered the power of passive income through rental property.

I've spent a fair amount of time trying to wiggle it around.  

I've watched several people estimate, myself included, rehab costs to have $5k more actually be spent.
