Hi @Joel S.! Well

I wouldn't necessarily take legal advice from her, but I guess I'll have to see what the story is and if/how much that storyline can bleed over into effecting her ability to be a trustworthy agent. 

Well my friend, sounds like you just got a lesson from the investing school of hard knocks, tuition $1,700 ... still far less expensive and more valuable than any guru course and could be far worse :) I agree with other posters that you should drop it ... you can't bleed a turnip.

My current tenant is on a month to month lease, but I'm bleeding $400/mo. 

Hi everyone, I'm just letting you know that we have just finished our latest flip. It's our biggest flip to date and would love your feed back. ThanksTim Hall

Here's my situation:-I'm currently spending $1700 in rent on a stupid luxury I can't afford (living alone in Hollywood)-All along I've been asking questions about buying an investment property while ignoring the fact that I don't have a home of my own yet and I'm bleeding money I'll never get back by renting-So first thing's first, I need to buy a home.
