I actually started looking at deals in Indianapolis and Nashville and already have gained more momentum in one week.

So, with that line of thinking, I'm guessing I should also put "Landlord" since I provided the central AC unit?

We own some acreage in sheridan wy, that is actually a bunch of blocks and lots grouped together (30 or so)  We purchased it from an estate 4 years ago.

This can be a great way to actually talk with people that are more experienced than you and a casual way to ask them questions.
