I recently hit a buffet far away from our normal one down the street, and there were two guys in T-shirts and jeans in there talking at the top of their voices about how they were "$125K into this deal" and were working on "getting $50K out of this flip."

You can easily lose your shirt if you're not on top of the contractor.

Show them your beat to crap truck and your wardrobe of caulking stained shirts and jeans. 

I would have lost my shirt if I wouldn't have followed her advice.

You might find the course to be all you need.I knew NOTHING about land development other than it involved subdividing land and hopefully making a big payday (without losing your shirt).

PE red stamps em and AHJ issues permits.

5 day notice yes and I gave him eviction summons that was filed and stamped.

Where I'm stuck is whether I should use a metering system that pre-prints a stamp onto the envelop or find a machine that can place a physical stamp onto an envelope (obviously I can't sit there all day stamping).I'm thinking from the perspective of mail that looks to "businessy" vs. mail that looks more personalized for better response/conversion rates.

If you send the security deposit disposition to the address they rented from you with ADDRESS SERVICE REQUESTED written in the area between the address block and stamp you'll get a postcard back with the details if the mail is forwarded. 

Holding unregulated shares in these syndications is the wild wild west and most will lose your shirt.
