You can not limit sources of funds so long as those sources are legal.Next, saying no seconds deprives the owner from the use of their property , the fruits of equity, the ability to pledge that equity earned and held for the owner's benefit, You're in violation again and that is another predatory move.

Meaning you don't leave them any fruit to go after.

I know most of you will think I have gone overboard in preparation but when the time is right I want this machine to be insert property here and all the gears to be moving already.  

I rented a machine to get the water out, rented high powered fans and sprayed for mold and used a mold tester.

I also realized that there's a lot of house flipping work that I actually enjoy doing - I enjoy putting together IKEA cabinets, painting, cleaning, doing landscaping - but I enjoy them when I'll see some fruits for those labors!

I'm looking to purchase the machines and pay for service as needed not partner with any companies.

But the Charlotte local REIA meeting is this Thursday. http://charlottereia.com/I'll be honest there will def be some package they are trying to sell but other than that I usually find them to be pretty fruitful and at the very least a solid networking opportunity.

Ideally, both.However some reasoning I have seen and feels logical is as follows:If you reduce your expenses by $X, you have saved $X.If you increase your income by $X, you have generated $X - taxes - value of time worked to earn that money - any other factors.So in terms of low-lying fruit (what is easiest/quickest to accomplish) cutting expenses AND THEN SAVING THE DIFFERENCE is what I would recommend doing first.My wife and I put this into practice. 

I have clients that are MD's.How they might want to invest depends on how many years left until retirement.New doctor's just getting into practice have hefty school fees to pay back and also business start up costs with machines etc.

BUT ALSO at one point there was an open area for Machine maintenence where they kept some industrial cleaners , a few 50 gallon drums for Machine Lubricant purposes  and a rack for Propane tanks that were used on the tow motors .
