Unless people will pick Kamala Harris.

, so you picked a good spot to get started!

Now you have started your own little snowball and can keep picking up steam as you add more and more properties. 

You won’t be buying in all cash so the loan that you pick will be very important in this process.  

It's great in terms of location, but the main issue that I have is that there is no public trashcan for the bus stop.This means that people are constantly littering around my property, and I am forced to pick up all of their trash.

Also in the meantime they recommend stopping mail to the mailbox, holding at post office, and manually picking it up (all of which I had to do once when I lost the mail key).

I pick option 1In my opinion, you shouldn't do business with friends.

What they allowed us to do was have a lease signed on the property for the 10 acres of corn with the local farmer that planted the corn and after the corn was picked, all farming activities on the property would be stopped and no farming would be allowed to continue. 

So its been 3 months, how many have you picked up and how's it going ?
