Hey BP, I'm looking for a attorney in Wilkesbare PA to assist in closing a subject to deal.  Anybody got a recommendation.  

Hold on, the title was "Do this"!  Did I miss the value add from this proposal?

thnx greg

can somebody recommend a good title co. in Elkhart Indiana area that could possibly close a subject to deal for us?  Thnx in advance BP fam.

Since 2004, I've been in the biz without a serious roach issue. But, I guess it was my time plus I knew I shouldn't have let this tenant move in.   I own a house in a challenging part of town and I've always had a long vacancy when my tenants move out.  So, when this lady applied, I relaxed my screening and on top of that, the government(Section 8) paid 100% of her rent.  After 3 years of renting to her and finding out she was completely FILTHY, I had to choose peace of mind over money so I terminated her lease.  

     I knew she was dirty, but when I took possession after she moved out, I was in shock walking in the door.  I had the place treated for roaches a month before she moved out but once the place was empty, OMGsus!!!!  I walked in and smelled that familiar smell of funk and burned almonds.  Looking around I saw that tell tale sign of black dotted stains around the outlets and the light switches, pic is attached.  

I took a few of the outlets off and saw the above image.  I've always wondered what that black powder-like paste was every time roaches were present.  After doing some research on the internet and talking to my mentor I finally found out what it is....

ROACH POOP!!!!

  Yes, when roaches have a trail they like to follow behind the walls, they leave droppings during their travels.  I took off the outlet and poop was caked on the receptacles and piled up behind the face plates.  The smell took me weeks to remove, and I'm sure I didn't get all of it because it's behind the walls.  My appliances were ruined(didn't get a pic of those) plus no body wanted to work in the unit while I was treating it for roaches.  Lesson learned; Be more proactive when you know roaches are present, from the beginning.  After being cursed out several times from my mentally sick tenant, I couldn't get a contractor to go do any work, neither did I want to go over to the house.  But, I got her out and it's now roach free, plus I have some great new tenants.  I'm glad I got rid of her in order to receive a blessing of a peaceful person in my unit.  Please tell me, what roach stories you've had BP????

Hey BP fam, I Have a friend that needs a good title co. In Florida, the FT. Lauderdale area.  Her brother died in the middle of a flip and we need to do a title search to verify what liens are on the house so we can get the house sold to recoup any down payment he put down, if there's anything left.  Can somebody recommend a good ie. real estate attorney or title co. to get us started???

Well that's a loaded question, it all depends on the level of risk you want to take.  I've been known to take on massive amounts of "risk" that I don't think is risky at all.  BUT first, tell me a little about your lender on the house before we can even get started.  

Thnx @Mitch Messer, just this week, i've received several applicants for all of the houses.  I hate to say it was because of the weather and time of year, but things have picked up in the past few days,   Thnx Mitch for chiming in...

hey @Omaree G. WELCOME BY BROTHER!!!!     You got a huge connect already with Dmitiry.  Don't wait to learn the Self Directed strategies he can offer you.  I was lucky to have a mentor, Lonnie Scruggs, to show me back in 2004.  But, welcome....   Please look around for positive peeps and if you have a question, just type in the search bar first because a lot of topics have been discussed in detail already, it'll save you some time...

God bless...
