Years go by and eventually Grandpa gets tired of fixing porches, nailing gutters and steam cleaning carpets that 'have a couple more years in them. 

I have never been shy of facing challenges and I truly believe knowledge is power (something my grandfather taught me at a young age)I really want to learn everything there is to learn about realestate and am driven and hungry.Thanks in advance for any suggestions or recommendations.

This deal highlights the power of well-executed renovations and a strong partnership in achieving impressive profits.

Knowledge is power. 

Unfortunately, you have no power over the tenant until you own the property.

The area was without power, materials were delayed in reaching job sites and the city inspectors were not at full capacity as the City was shut down as well.

Is the property under a high tension power line or down wind from the horse rendering factory or on a main thoroughfare or some other obstruction that you wouldn't want to live near?

Utilities are OFTEN overlooked so reach out to power, telecom, gas (or go all electric), water, and sewer to make sure you understand what it would take to get separately metered services from the primary house.

Together, we can harness the power of technology and creativity to make significant strides in our personal and professional lives.
