No offense to the other wholesales working in the IE.

No offense intended, but I thought continued educational direct expense (not time) is a tex write off, so keeping track of that is worth some small amount.

No offense at all Jodi, but these are the issues starting out that are described in the RE basics education that I keep harping on.

Good defense will lead to a strong offense (returns) Check out the great pod casts and reading suggestions they will help.

No offense, but serious real estate investing needs more sound thinking.

Hence, no returning calls to the buyer and slow to write the offer.No offense to RE agents here, but I have found that most of them should be treated like used car salesmen and venomous snakes.

If they ever do sue I can show a past pattern of abusive behavior and that it is an offensive tactic.This may not be the best tactic but I am very offended by this kind of tactic and want everyone of them to know I will not back down because of it.

Also make sure that missed payments on utilities are an evictable offense.

You aren't in a position to play hard ball, they will eat your lunch.Play it straight up, put tenants in and rent it if you can, otherwise I suggest you head to the shallow end where you don't get in over your head, no offense, but those ideas were pretty much speculation with an imagination. :)

Wouldn't stop a comment from being made but if it were not for the mention feature the offensive comment would probably go unanswered and unforeseen.
