I had a repair guy stop by the other day and basically he told me sheis making a mess of the place and she doesn't have the gas cut on.She is an inherited tenant from the previous owner and I saw her once in person after the sale.

My situation is essentially I've had to liquidate much of my $ to assist a family member out of a major bind with their health (bless the medical system <rolls>) and that has put me into debt in a big way and my income barely covers my base expenses (not counting other necessities...gas... food.. etc).

So just have them do it for a small fee (like paying for the gas cost) so that you get strong numbers, I personally don't like going be the net when it comes to some things!

Even short term deals can take cash just to put gas in the car, pay closing costs, etc.Good luck.John Corey

I have done one deal so far and it has only cost me around hundred bucks...for some marketing and supplies and gas...also i have a full time job....there is still plenty of time in the day to make some real money :D

Oil was climbing steadily, but refined products like Gas haven’t.

My reason is to help some of the people because the price of gas, the job market & the loans have them in such a tough spot right now.

I grew up with off these gas floor furnaces.
