How was the ceiling attached nails?

Steven hit the nail on the head, there's an awful lot of knowledge and experience on this site so ask questions, read forums, meet fellow local investors at your REI meetings and you'll become smarter and more connected in no time!

We ply address any fees the buyer is expected to pay, above and beyond buyer's normal costs...ie. we Try to nail down HOA contributions, partial payments to junior liens, etc up front.
