Yes I have owned 4 personal homes before but never an investment property.

I can also find out everything about this person's license in less than 10 minutes.

I know i personally wont build anything with adjoining walls as the long term liability is to much risk for me.

I bet you were floored when the person ordered every package you had to offer!!

We actually just had several go in on Livingston ave on the west side where I'd not normally think would be desirable, but they look great and really brought the block up.So I'm a huge fan personally from seeing them go up in my own area.  

Be sure to actually contact the landlord for verification—fake references are more common than you’d think.In-Person Meeting: Meeting potential roommates in person is a great way to get a feel for compatibility.

If it was me personally, I would not.

Would even be happy to meet in person since we are in the same area.

It started with really buying my own personal home, then selling and making a small profit.
