That is to say I've always been a better delegator than an hands on, strap on the tool belt and jump in the trenches type albeit I've never had a problem rising to the occasion when necessary.I now have two sons who are both contractors, one has followed in my footsteps and is very successful.

Wait...........I do) or hire a good dependable management company who can rise to any occasion at anytime or both.

My interests in real estate are buying, selling and helping renter customers on occasion.

On more than one occasion, that has saved me.

He is usually speaking at a local REIA on occasion and has a wealth of landlord and investing knowledge plus, he's very entertaining.- it's always good to see another Hoosier utilizing this great site!

On another occasion we lost heat in a building, it was one of those cold nights in Chicago, and my HVAC tech was sleeping and did not answer my calls.

The moral of my story, if it is too good to be true, it often is, however, in rare occasions, it pays to be cautiously optimistic.  

I've been an expert witness in construction fraud and owner/management abuse and bullying issues for over 2 decades and have testified against abusive landlords on countless occasions and have yet to see them come out on the winning end.

Also, I attend on occasion the auctions that are held by the county, either foreclosures, or sheriff sales.  

I have waived it on occasion but I only do that rarely.
