So I recently purchased my first investment property in the form of a duplex.  I am living in one side and rent the other side out.  This was the smartest and quickest way I could think of getting my feet wet.  I have...

Maybe you bend your rules for a VET who had a rough time, and his credit is trashed, but you rent to him anyways.

If it was a 3 or 4 inch line and they removed a section 2 to 10 feet , and reconnected it , the pipe doesnt bend .

You want to help, and you can be willing to bend some, but if you start bending too much...well..you'll end up getting...bent over...HA!!

I am looking at purchasing tax liens in Harris/ Fort Bend County and wanted to get a bit of information.

I know there are many companies/attorneys who have no problem getting people who are not delinquent on their loans amazing short sale offers, I just have not found it to be that easy in my practice.I've found the longer the delinquency the easier it is to get the bank to bend.

Why I'd want togo back there and visit I don't know, but I do miss the area, Toldedo Bend and the Sabine as well as Lake Charles, that's a fun little town.

The trick is to find a broker at one of these banks who bends the rules a bit, and will continue to loan on multiple "2nd homes".  

So after 6 months, I had the property manager evict tenants, and they moved out...When I went to see home, (The home was Trashed, The furnace was stolen, and the water pipes Busted because no heat)  I took pics of home, but not the Trash...as I threw all trash in garage.I decided to cut my losses as this home was in South Bend, (Only one I had there), and I just sold the House As-Is for $6000 Cash...

This way they cannot be bend and if one of the blades are damaged you simply replace one blade verses the entire unit.
