financially?

As such, they'll look at your personal financials to some extent.Can you clarify on "buy multiple properties at a time" - like close on them all the same day? 

I told myself I'd be an Orthodontist and eventually reach my DREAM of retiring early and being financially independent so that I could spend as much time with my future family as possible creating memories.

Has anyone ever done an analysis to determine if it is financially beneficial to pay off an LID (Local Improvement District) assessment early? 

Emails and Financials I don't believe there are enough people discussing the different business strategies out there on these forums.

The unfortunate reality is that us “mom and pops” can be devastated financially by the cost just to defend ourselves versus a complaint from HUD who has an unlimited budget 

I applaud your desire to explore U.S. real estate as a vehicle for financial success.
