Game wardens were involved with that. 

As for mine, I would say it was selling a great asset to make up for a huge loss on a bad flip/partnership (both in our personal portfolio). 

I live in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia and when I am driving to and from work I see lots of bandit signs and my heart just flutters because I know that I need to get into the game.

As of now I’m thinking once my portfolio reaches my personal goals I’ll deal less and less.

So I’m wondering if I should jump in to the real estate game now and start working forwards my goal, or should I keep hoarding money away until the market cools off a little bit.

This requires more money down and "skin in the game".

Hi @William Brown....Welcome to BP & the investing game. 

Maybe money isn't the end game and you can address their needs in some other fashion.

I know a guy that kills it in the tax game in Alabama.

They want to know if it's borrowed because they want you to have some skin in the game (10-30% usually).If you're new, I'd focus my first deal to be a little smaller and not be so leveraged.
