@Dave Foster & @David Hunter Great idea about the lawn care. 

Thanks @Dave Foster .

Barely a week later, I meet 'wife's mother (who flew in from the midwest) at door who explained her daughter's boyfriend needs to stop lying to people, that his real situation is they're not yet married and were living in a converted garage and he left the kids home alone while wife was also at work and police were called because one of the kids somehow was found alone wandering the streets and subsequently placed in foster care til she (mother's mother) came to LA area to file for being their legal guardian in the interim.That LA Child Services would not release the kids back to the parents, but agreed to place the kids with a relative if the relative owned or had a lease on an apartment within Los Angeles County, so he found my Signal Hill 2-bedroom apartment (in my 2-family house) for her since they could not use the converted garage as a safe home for daughter's mother to take over the 'lease' on.  

@Dave Foster I appreciate the advice I'll stop using the term "fix and flip" when dealing with property that can potentially leverage a 1031 exchange.  

We were foster parents for 15 years and helped 55 medically fragile infants survive and get into life.

@Daniel Foster - You need to be PRO to send a PM to non-colleagues, as @James Wise suggested.

@Joel Foster -  Welcome to BP!  

I'm sure that @Jerry Puckett and @Shane Foster can attest to the fact that more important than where you buy your list is that you take action.
