Maybe get a temp job and work there for a month or two.

Save up all the money until you have enough to pay for the attorney fees and then some.

Good Luck!

That big flag will make it easy to find.

Good Luck!

Well written.

Especially the part about cash reserves -- operate on the razor's edge --> you may get sliced.

Just my 2 cents.

If this were mine I would just have a carpet installer put in apartment tan color carpeting on the stairs and on the upright portion of the stairs and then put in new moldings along the edge of the walls.

 Just my 2 cent...

Until business picks up, or until they stop building because the demand goes to zero. Which could mean insolvency for some of the builders, or they may just retract in size and wait it out until the next uptick in the cycle happens.

Some areas literally get flooded with lawn campaign signs.

These signs can easily be turned into durable warm feral cat shelters.

Here is an article I came across I thought some of you might like to look at.

Good Luck!

(((( "income they had been counting on to pay living expenses" )))).

I have "gotten that idea" from listening to pitches before, and it seems like an easy "thing" to imply (along with saying many other things-to paint the barn) to hopefully help make a potential investor move from maybe to action.

Even if the LP investor is just piling up the monthly cashflows for future investments or the down on a new luxury yacht, unexpected downturns lead to unhappy investors.

Just my 2 cents.

Find a way (to make it) give you the lifestyle that you want.

Set things up and work towards making it give you the comfort, convenience and prestige level that makes you happiest.

That will be different for everyone, depending on your individual desires, and the individual opportunities that you've taken advantage of when buying, and the opportunities that are presenting themselves to you now and in the future, As well as your ability to get the down payments and operating capital needed to put deals together.

Just my 2 cents.

The cheapest way I can think to do it would be to chain the dog to the doghouse.

Other than that they have pre built kennels that are available for sale such as this one.
