I lived in the area back in the mid 80's and still remember Ana I got weekends at "Denio's"...they also had the biggest and best corn dogs on the planet!

Why on planet earth would they think that you would be able (and not to mention: willing) to let them into their place which they occupy and to which you normally do not have access unless you give prior notice and whatnot?

We also had a conventional lending expert speak at our local REI who was talking about a specific conventional loan that would work but only if you refied UNDER 6 months and the moon and planets were aligned or some such.

This is the most amazing resource for investors of every size and shape on the planet!  

Air-born asbestos is very dangerous/ toxic and its not safe to have people in the home while this work is being done. 

The fact that you are currently on title in your own name makes this property toxic poison to your IRA.Time to start working on a different exit strategy and see if you can find a way to dish this property off to another investor.Sorry.

If it is UNAFFECTED then the price won't change.If you looking for changes affected by a warming planet not very likely. 

A: One bite at a time.Absentee is a game of time; touching people multiple times along a timeline that hopefully hits that with the right message, the right way, at the tight moment, that they contact you.I agree with @Jeremy T. that you might find some good info from Planet Dan (Kennedy).

My thinking I'd be wasting my time was before I clicked the link, when I got there and saw it was Michael's podcast, my interest peaked from knowing him here on BP.I think Michael is great at marketing, I can tell those who have had "training" in sales presentations, nodding the head, hand gestures that "connect" you with positive body language and asking "yes" questions is trained and not natural for most people.Companies like Met Life and Prudential Insurance, probably have the best one on one training and marketing on the planet, selling financial products is the hardest thing to sell to the average Joe.

Reading into your post..... it sounds like the environment you are in is more toxic than the property.Filter all the noise the people around you are delivering you and what you are reading.
