It seems odd that the owner set this up not long ago and is now ready to throw $43k out the window, that doesn't sound like a smart investor, or they have ulterior motives.I would dig a little deeper to find out his motivation.

Thank you for all those good advices that will encourage me to dig a little bit more on the subject.

I think if you dig a little, there's a reason beyond her just getting a yellow letter from you that caused her to call an investor instead of a Realtor.

Many of the questions you are asking have been discussed over and over again on BP, and if you took time to dig a little instead of asking you'd already have your answers and be more knowledgeable.

Chop some wood, dig a ditch or punch a pillow.

If you dig a little deeper, you may be able to find, good deals that cash flow, but they are definitely tricky.Good luck.

If you dig a 2' deep by 2' wide trench around the high side and down the sides of the home draining away from the home, place perforated drainage pipe on top of 6" of 3/4" gravel and tie the downspouts into that, then fill the trench up with the gravel you should never have another problem with the water in the house again.Also excavate the lot on the high side down at least 4" below the slab top.

I need to dig a little deeper.

They are out there, but you have to look a little harder and dig a little deeper.

But, offering a $4 cup of coffee, attending a conference, or offering your time to that investor to dig a trench, paint a wall, or clean out a unit while she/he is flipping a building gives them reason to think you are worth the skin you are rocking.
