Prior to selling, the buyer's inspection turned up significant mold damage to the property's foundation due to water leakage.

I find that all of our tenants when we say we don't use property management they jump for joy and say their prior landlord/property management was terrible to work with.I just assumed that everywhere has bad landlords who aren't willing to do the right thing for their tenants, which ultimately leads to happier tenants, longer leases and more $$ for us.

A seller that I had bought from prior to had sent us a property they were trying to assign the contract for.

Check for  satisfactory credit, Criminal, and Income and have them provide prior landlord references and call them.

I would call at least one prior landlord reference but you may find they don't respond so you may need to call a few.

I'll provide instructions how to use for an additional $150 if you buy it before I finish writing this post.....................

Although a bank or insurance company would fit nicely into Berkshire’s existing platform, Canada does have restrictions on foreign ownership of those assets – so my bet would be either an energy or utility-oriented opportunity (plenty of them in Alberta) or perhaps a significant stake in Alimentation Couche-Tard, which owns the Circle K brand and has a significant global presence, potentially meshing nicely with Berkshire’s recent purchase of Pilot Flying J.This year, I had the pleasure of travelling to Omaha with some friends from New York University’s Real Estate Development program and got to catch up with old friends from all over the world.Alas, my favorite Buffett-ism from the meeting was "Understand that the market is there to serve you, not instruct you".

It ismportant to keep in mind, especially if you are out of state and/or flipping or brrring, to have a team in place prior to help navigate as you go. 

The custodian would provide some delivery instructions, you contact your plan admin of the 401k to let them know you're rolling over and provide the delivery instructions and they will send the funds- about 7-10 business days for processing.

They get another a day after check-in to make sure everything is as expected and going well, another the day before checkout with the instructions and "asking" them to review the property.
