.#3 - I simply find it unethical representing the seller in this fashion.

THAT is where money is created (and destroyed), not the mint.For some perspective on all this "doom and gloom" regarding our increasing money supply, look at this recent graph of the M-2 supply (used for forecasting inflation).As you can clearly see, the M-2 supply is growing in a nice steady linear fashion (gray area), not skyrocketing off the chart.

The old-fashioned solution to something like this would be drapes that were lined.Sometimes being old-fashioned has benefits.

The tenant can claim that a good plumber would have completed the repair in a timely fashion and since the Landlord hired a bad plumber they were unable to use their home for another week.From what I know of the situation, it appears that the tenant is not exactly reasonable (like you would be for the same situation in your home) - they think dust on furniture is "damage" - so they could claim a bunch of things and it will be up to the Landlord to defend against the claims.

I'm hoping to make the numbers work in true biggerpockets fashion like you pros... well, as close as I can get?

Others, such as myself, do not currently have that advantage, so we must outsource these duties.That said, in a similar fashion as Tim, I market myself when I am out and about and also on the net, as Tim does physically, which takes time and effort, but pays off in the end.

Another alternative is to buy the property sub-2 or in some other fashion.

Call me old-fashioned, call me crazy...etc... but we're doing it the slow/lazy way.

This is the old fashioned principle of buy and wait.

But there are a lot of ways that we can benefit from good old fashioned common sense.
