From the windows, I saw there was a big mess inside the house: very dirty carpet; old and dirty furniture randomly stacked on each other; all kitchen cabinet drawers were pulled out; no clothes, dishes or food, no any sign that someone lives there.

Your go-to lender gets food AND booze out of you?

Other growth seems to be the food industry with large chain groceries stores/department stores coming to the area.

Just food for thoughtAlex

Like walking dogs, food grocery delivery, many more accomodative pricing communitie services.

We found through dates on papers and food boxes (that could be read) it had been empty since around the year 2000, and they just left the kitchen with all the food in it.

You would be amazed at the number of people who think you can cram food down both drains because there is a disposal in one drain.

Food for thought.Lastly, the money you will save while not paying rent, can be saved and further invested in your next deal.

Food for thought of the day....The importance of building your support team/group I have found is a critical factor in this business.

I usually end up paying $100 in materials.I'm not trying to take food out of your mouth, what i'm saying is, I don't want to pay $2000 for a $500 furnace, and then $2000 in 'labor' for a job that takes one guy and his Igor less than a full day to complete.One last thing, if you clear $240 for a furnace install (1-6 hours, it varies) you are KILLING it.
