I don't really have any favorite openingsnever was a good player in a lot of ways I was Ignorant.What made my game seem ok as it was described to meI had "Spatial intelligence or ability "For example I was given this book On 13th birthdayhttp://www.bookdepository.com/Bobby-Fischer-Teaches-Chess-Bobby-Fischer/9780923891602 All the problems seemed super simple even though I was just learning the game.

The current owner might get all their insurance (car, health,life, property) from one place for an artificially low rate or own a bunch of other property and have maxed out the plan so adding one more property is very cheap.

Thanks for all the good wishes.My grandma has an artificial heart valve implanted many years ago and they wired her for a pacemaker at the same time.

If your property is nice and prices correctly it will rent. have you thought of using a small piece of high-quality artificial turf and some clean looking fencing? 

My daughter is very intelligent and has a burning desire to move into this type of business and I am blown away with the time and effort she has invested and the amount of information she has already learned.

What about artificial turf--costs more up front but requires NO water, NO mowing, and NO weeds...

Typically this seems like their strategy:1) Make an artificially high initial offer2) Lock the property up with an inspection period3) Send out an acquisition agent with a contractor to do an inspection4) Ask for a $20,000-$30,000 reduction at the end of their inspection period5) Also charge the seller a 6-7% fee similar to a commission6) These "hidden fees" don't typically show up on the tax records7) Sell the property after a "lipstick" rehab.
