You gotta get up here this summer and run in the Bradbury Mtn race series a lot of fun.

I would recommend reading the series of books focused on real estate such as the ABC's of real estate investing by Ken McElroy who recently appeared on the bigger pockets podcast.

Old tv's, appliances, furniture...just shtuff...in the hallways...and the basement?

@Lamont Hopewell, have you taken his lesson series?

Stuff taken down from the bookshelves, flat screen TV taken off the wall, torn and moldy shower curtains, streak marks on the toilet trap ways, closet doors jammed shut with filled boxes.

Oh and they pay the cable TV bill!

"It's not as easy as it looks on TV."

If your a buy and hold investor, are you planning on putting the properties into one persons name and getting traditional (30 year) financing (traditional mortgages are for individuals, not LLC's) An umbrella policy for a few million is a cheap way to take care of liability, and even if you have it in a series of LLC's and your 5 entities from it, if your involved in the rehab, and someone gets hurt because of neglect or something you should have know, you liable...and if your managing a rental and something goes wrong, your just as liable.

I'm gradually weaning myself off TV and hope for a no TV house in the future.

He has a seminar called "Winning The Property Wars" and it seems to relate to his TV show on the Discovery Channel that involves real estate auctions.
