I used to respect Robert Kiosaki but his programs are nothing but snake oil sales pitches, I am not sure he intended it to be that. 

Hi, I find it very ironic that there are some people who enter the real estate business thinking that they have what it takes to be a hard nosed business type, that they can make a fortune through shrued business dealings, basically finding distressed sellers that they can take advantage of or out manuver others in business dealings, yet they don't have enough sence to find information on their own and end up being taken themselves by snake oil salesmen.There are many mentors who will give guidance for absolutely nothing, many for a small fee for the time.

you need to check with the city if that porch had a permit pulledYou have no idea about the plumbing situation or electricity (you spot rat droppings ..you wires might be gone)…are the pipes sloping correctly, do they drain, non-visible leaks does not mean that you are ok, maybe it is a good idea to either perform a compression test (if part of the plumbing is missing and you really want to save those old galvanized pipes) or snake a camera into the drain to look for the roots on the way.

I expect we'll sell at $335,000 or more.These snakes were happy to offer my client $100,000 less than the actual current market value - and my clients believed their flim-flam and were almost ready to accept a HORRIBLE deal.If you can convince me that the seller wasn't about to get screwed HARD by the wholesaler, we can have that discussion.

But, this constant complaining (closet smells, the refrigerator shelves are dirty, the cabinet knobs need polishing, whoops I flushed a towel down the toilet- come over and snake it for me) is getting sickening.

If you don't mind not being able to get to them within an hour why don't you look at Thunder Bay?

So keep us updated on what's going on with this land deal.I mean, as time goes on, post up the good the bad and the ugly as you encounter it.Maybe it's full of snakes (seriously, I have had rough tough dozer men terrified of snakes).

Roots travel quite far so that gets trickyJust some things to think about I've asked the Roto Rooter plumber to cut thru the roots if possible when he snaked the line, he said the equipment they had simply pull the roots and not actually cut thru them.  

Usually an "Erickson machine" which is a hand operated drum or "top snake" cable machine will extract a couple handfuls of hair at about 4 to 10 linear feet down the drain.This is the usual fix.If this does not solve your problem I reccomend the services of a professional drain cleaning company.These folks have rolling workshops with drain equipment of every description include fiber optic cameras that can inspect drains as small as 2" in diameter.Choose a firm that strictly specializes in drain cleaning opposed to genral plumbing.These guys solve problems like yours everyday ,,,theres quite a lot to it actually,,,and these guys have seen EVERYTHING believe me,,,Lynn if you indeed have broken remnants of tile or concrete in your shower drain it will be very difficult to correct in a "slab job" house.You may request a technician to attempt vacumning out the remnants with a "wet dry vacumn".He can then a attempt to clear it with a cable machine or a high pressure "Hydro Jetter" machine.If you had a raised foundation house of course you would have the option of a plumber working under the problem area and "chopping out " the section of clogged pipe and replacing it with new material.This is one of the many reasons I do not like nor will I invest in slab houses.Good luck Lynn and hope this helpsDave DoyleLos Angeles
