This may have been a simple spam attack or a DDoS. 

I then proceeded to close on 3 more flips within 1.5 months, sell a condo and finally close another buy and hold closed yesterday.The best part about all of this has been trying not to give my fiancee (wife in 2 weeks) a heart attack.

Both of you were professional and did not make personal attacks on the other. 

Attacked lowest balances first for 'wins'.

By attacking the debt on one property with the cash flow from 19 others, you accelerate the payoff and when it is paid off that property now produces 4x CASHFLOW, and the snowball gets bigger.With this approach, 19 debt-free properties that each rent for $850 per month will produce $124,260 after all expenses, and that is if the rents never increase! 

Is this a recipe for disaster or is there a straightforward way to attack this?

I'm too young to have a heart attack but that's what I just went through dealing with NREIG. 

I care about what I am going into, not where it was.Do you think attacks on REI is going to come at a less or more frequent rate?

You personally attack people like Nancy Gonzales for not being an expert, but I have personally partnered on deals with her and know she made more money on one deal with me than the average american makes in a year.  

I will find out how the person died - I understand they died from a heart attack but will check.
