so that I can travel, work for fun or part time, and most importantly have money to support my family if something were to happen to me.

Sure everyone says they 'want' more money, but the wealthy actively find ways to make or save more money, while the middle class is perfectly content going to work 9-5 so long as they have enough cash left over to have a little fun on the weekend. 

I'm pretty sure I could research and find the correct/safe/legal (as you all seem to put it) manner in which to remove/dispose of these potentially hazardous materials along with the right chemical/cleaning agent to pressure wash any meth residue from the structure's skeleton...With all that said, it doesn't seem like much fun and I think I will pass on this deal, and by the way I would be giving the same advice as everyone here if some anonymous "investor" asked about this online... so I appreciate the words of wisdom.The thing that isn't clear to me is: would I, or would I not be breaking the law by continuing with my "plan"?

Planning is great - I never was good at that - words are easy to put down on paper - other people's ideas are fun to experiment with and can make someone new in this business feel good for awhile I guess.Over 40 years ago I can recall as if it were yesterday - I was where many of the new folks on this site are today - I was motivated to make money in real estate - had a giant desire to create a little success (the low pay awful job I had, and a jerk for a boss just wasn't cutting it  - but I had motivation - i discovered quickly that it takes more than motivation to pay the bills.So this one seminar I took the guru said "set a goal, build your team and find a mentor".OK - I set a goal to get rich in real estate - to buy one house a month and to quit my job.

Thanks for the information, I'm not behind on my mortgage payments but I'm looking for a way to sell my home for the minimum of the loan payoff amount and with any luck (and a prayer) I'm looking to move out of the area we're in and start fresh well sorta.

:) Kidding aside, this looks like a lot of fun, exactly the kind of deal that I'd like to get into, provided the price is right.

We absolutely love Austin and we feel like the opportunities in real estate, if done carefully and correctly, could be pretty lucrative (not to mention fun).We're contemplating downsizing our current home and using a large portion of the profits to start investing.

Decided to join the fun and see what everyone is talking about.

I wish u would have known how much fun the whole process is.

It is a bunch of fun for people like me.
