They ended up living in a shelter for months (she slept on a lounge chair in a church basement!)

Much of what happened to the floor was part of normal wear & tear - chairs at the dining room, etc."

@Michael Kay  Mike, the RE game is much like every other market (casino) you want to "get IN and back OUT (before sitting along the sidelines and watching the fireworks drama, from a leather easy chair... until AFTER the CHTF again, before going back to work BUYING... at a hefty 'discount!') 

I have "Sell or Be Sold" on my desk right here as I type, another "10X Rule" in my bag on the chair.

Another thing that I would suggest doing is using the beadboard instead of the plain board in the bathrooms with the chair molding, IMO it looks a little nicer with the extra "bead" look to it.Another thing  I would recommend is on the exterior when you do siding, make picture frames on the windows and not J-Channels. you have to put a 2x4 around the window and put aluminum around that and the siding guy might take a little extra for it but if you beat him down and work with him, he'll do it.

Both the Arkansas House and Senate have passed the bill and it was certified by the chairs of both houses 4/2/19 and should be signed by Gov.

I would fall out of my chair if I was anywhere near 800.. 

The exact date for this law to go in place is not finalized and SEC Chair Mary Jo White has delayed issuance until October 2015 which will result in not being able to invest until 2016 according to Fortune, Entrepreneur, and Crowdfundinsider.It will be hard for old properties to compete with corporate rentals when you compare taxes, insurance, utilities and condition of the properties.  

or in other words, increasingly individuals/business want to spend more money while they have less available to them. even via credit or 'creative' funding. at least as of Jan 2014 lenders are bound by the 'New Qualified (QM) Rule' at a nationwide level by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which mandates that even 'PRIVATE' loans require the borrower’s total documented debt to income (DTI) including the loan payment isn’t over 43%.so seems more and more than ever resort to creating the facade that they do in order to be taken seriously and appear to be busy actively 'investing' yet more and more properties are in/out/in/out of contract like musical chairs these days until they 'finally' close after much wasted time.http://cashformyclosing.com/proof-of-funds/the plethora of sites out there offering 'proof of funds' letters - some like the above offering proof of 'unlimited' funds for a low monthly 'subscription' really take the cake in what 'proof of funds' is apparently being belittled to. investing in the business arena used to mean expending money for future profit; i'm not sure of the scope of what it means nowadays anymore though.

A lot of arm chair host are starting to see the work that is required to maintain a permit (that they never held in the first place) and are getting out.
