The project came with a mountain of reno knowledge to add to my handyman knowledge, and grew a love of GC'ing projects (and a lot of heartache and screaming, but that's for another episode).After running the numbers, I realized it was better to move into the completed cottage (950 sq ft) and rent my previous primary residence (1300 sq ft) as a month-to-month furnished rental.

I’ve been looking on trulia and Zillow for a while now and nothing screams out to me as a good deal..

You could potentially pay someone like that per site visit or hourly.

That way, you have at most a 3 day window with no contact (friday to monday); if he doesn't answer the door, they will call the emergency contact to let them know.To my knowledge, he is self-sufficient and doesn't have any visitors. 

I figured it out it's best to get visitors to landing page of my website with a form/questionnaire.

If one is a smoker and both are borderline hoarders that screams $$$ to me.

I was screaming at my computer screen when the bidding was up to $25,000 a few weeks ago on an HOA foreclosure that had a mortgage for WAAAAYYYY more than the property was worth.

The group I'm a member of now passes the mic each meeting where members and visitors introduce themselves and answer a simple thought provoking question.

I do love this market, it is a high demand area with many bustling scenes and great weather, and IMO fairly recession robust because it is more of a high end destination, meaning most visitors are not as affected by downturns.

It'll be a regional bank doing them for a loss to build karma, or to check Community Reinvestment Act boxes, that sort of stuff... still kicking and screaming, but they'll do it, they have some incentive other than making a buck on that particular loan (they won't).
