There are some unscrupulous agents that have been busted for making jewelry & medications disappear during showings.

This satisfies both my desire for a multi family, and my fiance's desire to feel comfortable and not feel like we're living in an apartment.The ultimate goal is to cover the mortgage, after the 50% rule, and save the cash flow for a second property in a year or so.I would love to hear from others who began in a similar fashion.

Let me be the one to tell you YOU WILL NOT GET REFINANCED in a timely fashion.

You'll find that the Indianapolis REI folks all know one another in some fashion!

I proved she was falsifying her expenses by pointing out the inconsistencies in her own paperwork (i.e. claiming monthly auto expenses when she listed that she didn't have a car), talking to her family members (whose contact info was listed on her original rental application), and also reviewing her paystubs (which she had to submit with her court motion) and talking to her employer (who was surprisingly very willing to answer my questions and tell me that some other garnishments she claimed were being deducted from her paycheck actually were no longer being deducted).To answer your second question (what if she had gotten a new job), I would have done what I did in the first place to find out where she worked....talk to her family members, check social media accounts (people will often post it on Facebook or LinkedIn), and do a good old fashioned Google search (in this case I Googled her name and found her name, phone number and workplace were all posted in an online roster for contact people in her industry).

An agent would be less prone to turning an offer down in an unethical fashion, since that would place his or her reputation and possibly license in jeopardy, as well as the agency they work for (not to mention financial repercussions).

Kristi, My father taught me to swim the old fashioned way, he just threw me into the American River one summer day, sink or swim, it is amazing how quickly you can learn to swim under those conditions.I used the same technique when I started my investing the same way, I figured I would find out what I needed to learn when I ran into a problem and believe me your a lot more motivated to find out the answer when your standing in quicksand.

A healthy debate is one thing, but often times you don't see that when a post gets a running and usually it's because someone feels threatened in some fashion or offended.This post as it started, and why I chimed in to begin with, had merit and validity.

When the six is completed and performing, we will start pulling apart the 12 ... it is built in the classic H-block fashion of its day, so we could pull apart 1-side of the building at a time.I would start with bringing an inspector or contractor through and, based on the findings, you may want to bring in an engineer (structural), electrician, HVAC, plumber, etc to get a full idea of what you are about to digest.Congratulations, sounds like an exciting adventure ahead.
