Numerous bugs had laid eggs in the appliance (flies and fruit flies) and the old chicken stunk badly. 

Yes, over 2yrs, because these fruit-cakes keep coming on here saying the market is just about to crash from any little anything they feel month to month.

I didn’t know they had fruit in Kansas.

@Tom Ott  I have been to their offices.. what they pitch is they will find some bank REO which I could never get a straight answer about.. then they have their preferred contractors.. so they are making a commission selling you the home.. ( which is transparent) although I could not figure out if they were double escrowing or making a little more juice on the sale then purported.. as I never pulled the trigger.then they have a preferred lender they want you to use.. which is a pleasant fellow ( never did a deal so don't know the back end). 

But ask, what's tied at the hip to those in CRE of "power" but, without that "juice" to get bailed out?

When you are forming all sorts of small partnerships with no real "corporate" backing and pooled asset base to provide security for the counterparty, typically you can't get a swap.right so one of this big group that brought swap is making huge win when rate is going up, i would not reveal their name, you are right it's not for everyone juice. but for us small LP, investing to those big group and the small newbie sndication, is just about the same.for swap, i read in pensford website and they are really sophisticated, leant tons about interest rate.

Fruit-cake maybe, wack-job sure, but the psyco is a smart psyco. 

Everyone has a different strategy and that is 100% great, just build good habits form the beginning so you keep transcending into the next level with ease and agility, its about systems, so the better your system, the more successful and fruitful your investment.Happy Investing!

The later choice takes times and rarely bears fruit in our experience. 

You'll feel much better in the long run.... or, hang on to it and stew in your own juices.
