John Hiatt croons “Have a Little Faith”

It’s been a wild ride!  If you’ve just tuned in, I’ve been trying to buy a new investment property/duplex in the continually developing N Mississippi neighborhood of NoPo (North Portland).  I signed the paperwork Monday, after various obstacles, my new deal closed and recorded yesterday (I still have a cramp in my hand from the signing).  I’m simply “living on faith”.  I have faith that the real estate market will repair and eventually turn-around (although, I don’t believe it will happen quickly).  I have faith in the power of a low interest rate  (I got 5.135% on an investment property and owner-occupied have been hovering around and UNDER 4.5%!!!).  I have faith in my “real estate sense”.  And, I have faith in buying low and making the numbers work!  And, let me tell you….even for me, a lot of it is and always will be “faith”.  Two great quotes that come to mind:  “Too many of us are not living our dreams because we are living our fears” (author unknown) and “Courage is resistance to fear and/or mastery of fear, not absence of fear”  (Mark Twain).
