Sitting in a hotel conference room just outside of Milwaukee with probably 300 people I got a tour of every possible way how to make money in real estate followed by the obligatory pictures of checks cashed to proof the point.

My initial piti payment was 8,870 now it will be 10,359.To make matters more messy I changed insurance during this time - they repeatedly sent me notices that they did not have proof of insurance...I had my insurance rep send them the docs several times before they finally acknowledged the new insurance.

But I have someone else already cutting that grass--with photos for proof of before and after every time he cuts.

This could help you keep an eye on things when you’re not home regardless of the roommate situation.You might also want to look into a toilet tank lock or a tamper-proof lid.

Your proof is a warranty deed.A warranty deed is a written legal document that transfers legal and equitable title of real property from one person or entity to another.
