There was dirty clothes everywhere, a phone number written with shaving cream and lipstick on the mirror, nothing had been cleaned since he moved in, dirty dishes everywhere...you get the picture.

I am an entrepreneur and business-minded so I actually spent my time last year traveling the states (San Francisco, Los Angeles, Sacramento, Seattle, Las Vegas, Austin, Chicago, New York) while promoting a clothing line I launched.

The reason is, if you can never let go of that mentality, it's very difficult to scale a business, because you will never give yourself the time to focus on scaling your business.Many successful business owners I know hire everything out -- from grocery shopping to cooking meals to buying clothes.

If you have experience running a real estate investing company, that experience is likely more applicable to creating a new company that focuses on designing clothes or building furniture than a new company that focuses on retail construction.

Do odd jobs for cash.Trim your current spending- stop eating out, ditch the expensive cell phone, buy your clothes at a resale place.

I would also look for an asbestos cloth wrapping (or plaster) on ductwork.

If it is surface mold only on top of the paint, which you can tell by wiping it off with a damp cloth to tell, that you can salvage; however, you cannot be 100% that it is not on the back of the drywall that is where the issues arise.

I wore hand-me-down clothes to school, never had a haircut, amd spent a lot of time defending myself.

You can call a trash person or charity to clear rooms of furniture and clothes for free.

Main issues are electrical...service panel, cloth wiring, meter box size and plumbing...galvanized supply lines, caste iron drains might be towards end of life span, shut off and bath valves.
