And you probably understand I say that NOT based on my actual ROI $.From an ROI standpoint, I didn't lose money, but I didn't make much either.It got my journey started and it toughened me up for the future.I would never hope that anyone has to go through something like this, but I turned the adversity to a positive and I could never have imagined I'd be where I am now after this.

Toughen up or get a PM!

I keep telling my fellow US investors how spoiled the are every time they start complaining about something (taxes, fees, regulations, rent, compliance, etc.) in the USA market ;-) Try making it in Europe and you'll need to toughen up by bringing along more time, patience and expect less yield.

@Alison CromwellIn order to obtain a flip loan with no consistent income history, the following steps need to be undertaken: create an impressive credit score, put aside more funds as a down payment, check out new methods of getting funding besides what is available from banks or other financial institutions, involve yourself in investments with toughened entrepreneurs, show how financially sound you are by doing things such as getting enough money into savings over time through frugal living habits or accumulating valuable assets that can be readily converted into cash when required among others like developing several stable sources of income or steadily growing one.

Toughen up.
