Sometimes he is lying in his bed in a robe eating cereal and watching cartoons.  

I dunno Jim, I've actually found a lot of valuable things in abandoned homes, doesn't hurt to check for that Sterling stamp on the "costume jewelry".. 

I'm not handy myself but I'm curious/concerned if that would be like the old cartoon, where you plug one hole with your thumb, and another opens up, you plug that with a toe, and another opens up...in other words, there's so much pressure because the water can't go anywhere, it just spreads to other areas and creates more holes, or the pressure builds up and "explodes" somewhere.

From what I can see expectation of what RE investing is is WAY off.BTW, we need more cartoons, pics and memes on this site, totally made reading this long [Removed] string worth it.

I wanted to ask, how you vetted our contractors and the process of after finding a property… how did you go about getting bids for the work to be done while being remote.Sorry for such a newbie question but I feel like that’s the biggest thing from stopping me from going all out.Hi Brian,What I have done here in Columbus is ask to see pictures, talk to previous costumers, and asked for a break down of a recent bid they did.

He outlines several programs that a bit more than the space here allows.I would say that costumer service is the start but when vacancy is your largest expense promptly fixing things only goes so far.

And, if you friend hasn't spent some serious time working in big-corporate world, have him read a year's worth of the Dilbert cartoon and remind him that this cartoon is very accurate on so many levels.

I don't know how widespread they are, but there's a company I often see here in SoCal doing business as "We Buy Ugly Houses" with a cartoon caveman as their logo.

She took good care of her things, car, costumes, boa's, etc.

My recommendation, Alessandra : Turn off the Cartoon News Network (CNN) and any other mainstream media for one week and read one of Brandon or David's books.
