Suarez Our kids are both moving out and we have extended the idea of minimalism to both of them (at least the early indications are such).Looking to do real estate to both supply funds for a lifestyle, but keeping the lifestyle simple helps keep the real estate needs low which reduces stress.And, my wife and I are both interested in supplying good, safe, affordable, and quiet places to live for people who are in the rent by necessity phase of existence.

This is not a necessity for some but it is something i would require before joining the group.  

plus I bet a lot of mortgage brokers don't know what all constitutes an event of default.. as there job is to sell mortgages not prosecute foreclosures..however myself being a HML who has had to foreclose many times in many different markets we get schooled out of necessity..
