Instead we decided to change the style from “just another cabin” with the typical bear quilts, deer antlers, and bulky brown leather furniture to something a bit more upscale.

Most likely you will need to use shoe leather (and, in this case, gas) to drive to the courthouse and look it up yourself.

It takes shoe leather and people skills, so if you're lazy don't do it.

@Leather Nix The Dodd Frank act doesn't prohibit doing a seller-finance deal.  

I carry a leather notebook with some nice before and after pictures.

What this equates to is instead of a 2,000 leather sofa lasting 10 years they have a piece of crap that is 15 years old handed down many times falling apart in few months.

This will only get worse as they get older.Being a hybrid with leather interior, hauling anything is pretty much an extreme pain because i have to take so many precautions to avoid cosmetic damage.

Hi Guys,No... sorry, we don't always start a conversation with "G'day Mate" as much as Crocodile Dundee might have you think we do, but we are real friendly.My name is Shawn and I'm new to the forum and real estate investing.

If you must market on the cheap, and you've studied your real estate basics already, then you'll need to trade time, gas and shoe leather for a house with equity.You do know what to do with one when you get a prospect who's eager to sell, don't you?

You'd never seen them before in the room and here they were confidently throwing around money like magnates.So then they'd put in the winning bid and bounce up happily to pay their 10% and you KNEW you were watching a trainwreck happen right in front of you, and the five or six real players with their little leather pouches filled with banded stacks of hundreds just sat there and impassively watched the sheriff's sale break another wannabe.
