I'm going to try and wholesale to start off with, especially with the way the market has gone, so I will currently be adding to my list of buyers and finding neighborhoods to go and look for appropriate properties.

Bill S, wouldnt you think that building a wall infront of a failing wall would be adding to the mess?

An acquaintance who purchased a 5-unit stone & brick building painted grey three years ago, had it bead blasted to remove the remnants of the flacking paint.Another hazard of painting brick is application of the wrong type of paint, or too much paint, can inhibit the brick's ability to dry resulting in spalling and accelerated disintegration of the brick.

Hello, everyone! I'm not asking for anyone's secret sauce if you will. But, I would like become involved in the local wholesale community, and if anyone would like to share some advice with me, I'd gladly accept it.
...

Can you let me know if there's anything I'm missing or that you think should be added?

What kind of marking paint, are you using glass beads for night parking?

If your children have money in the bank, college savings funds and other stuff like real estate, those amounts will be added dollar for dollar to the amount FASFA declares as your family contribution.

The rest of the money would be added to what we have already and given to our two sons..... the oldest to buy a house in CA and the youngest as a wedding present to either invest in his own ventures or go towards paying the mortgage on his house.

Leaning towards allowing it but starting a new lease with both their names on it and increasing rent by $100 (about 5% increase from current) since 2 more people will be adding to wear and tear.

Feel free to pm me to be added to my buyer's list.
