Great stories thanks for sharing I learned a lot from this exercise.

If you take 6 minutes you failed the exercise.  

There are gentle ways to force yourself to live on less and then route the rest of your investment dollars to real estate.

I'm curious to hear the BP community's thoughts on a novice investor pursuing a subject-to deal when they could qualify for a conventional loan to buy the property, have multiple exit strategies, and have the personal finances to pay off the original note in the case the due on sale clause is exercised.

I understand your plight as I went through the same exercise trying to invest again in BC.
