Pex is the future my friend, embrace it.

Even skylights in perfect condition are often installed with incorrect flashing, which is the metal that diverts water away from the penetrations in your roof (where roofs meet walls, chimneys, roof valleys, etc).

I'd like to think that I belong to a breed that you would not be embraced of or by :)

In the process of buying a rental property with a partner in Ohio because i find the market entry points for San Diego to be too high and Cleveland was a market with could penetrate (90k home). i would LOVE to invest locally and be closer to my investments, maybe even Temecula etc.

I state that sheds are not warrantied against water penetration because I am don't want anyone claiming it is my fault if an antique or somesuch gets ruined.

Also, be OK and embrace your lack of knowledge in all areas of the business - I find most individuals are more than willing to help you close the knowledge gap.

we run 2 REIC clubs in Southern Calif.we teach / train  - learn to embrace the competition - they truly are allies - they go into our network data base -we touch them 2 times per week via emailWe get a lot of deals from our like minded investors (competition) how??

If you just want to kill time or love looking at other people's homes, then these are in fact good agents to you.However if you want to hire someone to manage the process for you and keep it from consuming every weekend for six months, than you might want to look elsewhere.Understand this: It doesn't take a lot to become a real estate agent in most states (a $300 two week class in my state followed by a multiple choice test) so there are a lot of people who think they can hustle a get-rich-quick scheme without working (the bored housewife/starving waiter categories) and then there are people who have embraced real estate as a career.

@Adrian VegaTell the tenants to embrace that feeling.This is a business, run it like one, period.

This is a form of securing doors and windows in steel that really cannot be penetrated by your average thief..
