My wife was also out of work recovering from knee surgery during this period, which made things even tighter.

The seller needs money today for grandma's gout surgery 8.

Elo Rivera believes this paid support should be illegal; it appears to be one of the few things I agree with him.I had surgery yesterday so did not make it to this council meeting (I attended the initial council meeting where this was proposed, it was proposed $5k/bedroom then).

I would never try to perform surgery on a patient because I lack the experience, but too often people get into private lending by visiting a Holiday Inn over a weekend, pay some guru $10K for the super-special mentorship, and then they start lending.

First property we purchased was a surgery center. 

I continued fighting wildland fires after having surgery for a ileostomy and I still can't pull of a simple task like buying a home.I've been on biggerpockets for a long time - reading the books, browsing the forums, consuming knowledge and thought I'd finally have the credit and income to put it to work but now here I am...still stuck in the rat race unable to execute. 

It's a physically demanding industry and after three back surgeries, diversifying into real estate seemed like a good option.

I just had surgery on my foot on the 26th so I’m not able to drive but will reach out once I can.
