I think that the team and moderators will all be aligned with this philosophically. 

I see your posts and know where you come from philosophically.

In short its complicated:) each situation is differentYeah this is a philosophical thing for me.

Please do yourself a favor and watch this documentary by philosopher Roger Scrutton https://vimeo.com/549715999.

As the great philosopher once said, "mo' money, mo' problems".I think the reduced leverage plan is a good choice to free up some DTI but obviously the extra fees on DSCR could start to add up a little.

Bloody oath I do mate.It's never their fault and always yours (Ours).They rarely take any responsibility and cry victim.It's crazy to think but it's like many intentionally look for drama and deep down inside don't want success but rather problems.Someone to dislike and blame and to feel wronged by.All other personal and "at home" issues can now be blamed on this one unfortunate scenario.This "drama" per se is like food for the hungry and they need such drama in life to "survive".My apologies if my above comments sound weird as they are more so from a philosophical standpoint and just some thoughts that I have considered after 5,000+ investor intro calls and as you have mentioned, others feeling wronged by me or my company on many occasions.What a $#@% way to live IMO but I don't judge and sleep in peace.Again, I have been "wronged" by many but consider it my own fault.I also don't call them out publicly or post bad reviews, etc... 

One from Nassim Taleb, former prop trader turned author/philosopher: “My lesson from Soros is to start every meeting at my boutique by convincing everyone that we are a bunch of idiots who know nothing and are mistake-prone, but happen to be endowed with the rare privilege of knowing it.”Second is from a hedge fund manager that no has ever heard of named Seth Klarman, but who has done well for himself, if you consider running one of the ten most profitable hedge funds ever doing well. 

In a loose sense, I would call any lender a "partner" too, since they will require not only your monthly payments, and will require regular reporting as well on the operations of the property (but this is a more semantic and philosophical discussion).But, ways you can try to come up with that money: refi your home and/or investment properties.  

Ah a good old philosophical question on BP, I love to see it.

I've got a very basic, possibly philosophical (lol) question.Owning stock market or ETF shares means you own a portion of the company or fund.
