Do you guys completely reinvent the listings for your clients and ditch their original page?

Basically, what you are asking is, "Should I ditch my investment because I'm taking some classes and it might vaguely resemble work?"

As Eric said, a short sale is really looked as a favor to the seller and with the seller moving in a direction the lender would deem litigious, any goodwill will be gone.Frankly, the "produce the note" approach is best utilized as a last ditch effort when the seller has exhausted all other remedies.

Unless you are out of town and not within an hour of your rental, ditch the manager!

I got tired of being nagged to death to upgrade every 3 months by Sage and Quickbooks that I ditched them.

In my worst house I took a sledge hammer to the floor and busted out a trench.I inclined the ditch and put down gravel.I laid down some pipes and directed them into the sump pit.Now the water is simply flushed away.

We finally ditched them because their service sucked, when we needed pics, they were sloppily taken and really were not usable, and then they kept lying to us about things being done when they were not done and over billing us for repairs.

Do that before you invest.2) like another person said, ditch the truck and buy a used beater.

Since you have zero experience at all with remodeling or building, please ditch the idea of buying materials yourself.
