Max, next case. Go get the other property. Don't even let yourself doubt your actions. If it was a over budget discomfort, well: that's b/c it's a rehab - what could go wrong, could and will go wrong-....
The advice that was given to you here was keen.
Framing, subfloors, electrical,etc..,on
a gut job: just add up. Demolition opens up
all kinds of attention to be given. Max, you are doing very good and you will progress more spontaneity when you move on. Congras, and may the best be with you always. Here is for you to ponder 'The gem cannot be polished without friction, nor man perfected without trials.- -- Chinese proverb

Mr. Lunsford;
Genunine advice you obtained in your post, some very accurate - put this to mind "Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890-1969) Military Commander and 34th US President
What counts is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog". There are plently fish in the sea. Just keep your passion, stay motivated, and focus; you too will accomplished wondefull goals! May the best be with you

Hello Joe in Oh;
You wrote"I walked through the house yelling hello and I saw a figure dash from the kitchen to the stairs and run up the stairs. They moved so quickly and it was somewhat dark inside so the only thing I could really tell was that it was a person. Now this is where my stupid genes kick in. I followed them up the stairs. I was yelling hello over and over again. I got to the top of the stairs and the figure dashed into the bathroom upstairs. At this point I started thinking "what if there is more than one, what if they are armed" etc. etc. I ran down the stairs and outside to my truck to call the police". You used the words- they-them and dark(environment). You where only sacrificing your stay on earth. Never play macho in a bull ring without your red cap.
If you have no protection, always take that two or three seconds to think before you act- never let you mind give you orders; we can react faster then a thougth; in valuation = in was a great day for the trespasser those young unlawful entry guys and their familys plus you. Before you got your permit there was
training but that would of a been second thing=action first!
It was dark, Joeinoh. utilties should be on, to stage your property (its a cost, the mind is so please to view mechanical things at work),lights are very important and etc.,. Your training payed
off and a lesson was given to us here at B/P and the replys are good & supra, even jugement calls. Thanks for sharing one of your dates with
with us. May the best be with you.

Mr. Stanley LP;
Your passion is just. You have done some homework. You're a young professional, etc... I was born in Brooklyn and I know it's a challenge in this industry. I use to rehab only basement (foundation to living quarters; vents, exit door,etc... Owners only used it for storage until I show up, then (legality), it became a for profit. Everthing to be done needs a permit, paper work,etc.. Okay you! Attitude.
That's it. You have to do your due diligence. You seriously have to be honest in ever way. Stay focus don't lose your motivated self if a deal don't seem genuine, there
is accurate assistants around 24/7. Properties there are 250k to one mil every day that go into the market, the same with those that have not gone public. You understand my point - attitude. You are an individual and a seller needs comfort in YOU. I give you this "I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong".
- -- Abraham Lincoln
New York and all large City's have very skeptical citizen's. Just be yourself, (unique),(fucus), (honest), read and question, and I'll add this " The ability to concentrate and to use time well is everything".-- Lee Iococca Congrats and the best of everything br upon you. Joseph

How do you like the reply thus far;(The Boss plus a few Big members of this industry have spoken) now focus. Here is some thing "It's better to light a candle than to curse the darkness".-Chinese proverb. Just read, your questions will obtain it's answers. This is you site; best
of everthing....... Joseph
