I'd buy a home that's next to a nursery growing random flowers but never next to a weed grow-house. 

I know a lot of people (seems like everyone has ties to South Florida even if they don’t live here) so I’ll hook up with someone to help me out (besides the help I get her or on the other sites).Thanks again and Happy Belated Birthday!!

And my understanding from your post is that your friend inherited it as well and didn't cause it so don't take him off your Birthday guest list yet.And don't fly back yet. 

First day... but if they're good tenants, I remember their birthdays, give Christmas cards, and certainly, have no issues asking them if they have thought of seeing their dr.

If you could find an agent who could still do that, it might help as they could accomplish the payout with a check - which you would have to allow enough time to clear.The bottom line is that Western Union is great for sending the grandkids $50 for their birthday. 

the few that I can think of that turn heads gave hold square shaped signs in front which to me says "business" versus rounded softer signs that look more like housing. just a thought too, a boutique bakery or flower shop could be a good fit as the house could add to a "home baked" or "grandma's house" type of feel. best of luck

My story of finding dirty birthday balloons and a joint in the crack of the couch doesn't really compare to that for this year...thankfully I guess. ;)Cheers to you and best of luck! 

I’m hoping to purchase an investment property within the next year as a 30th birthday present to myself.My question to you all is, what types of methods do you use to learn about a market remotely?

I like to have the original application with their SSN, birthday etc in case I ever needed to file something against their credit report.

We get a lot of family reunions, some estate weddings, birthday parties, bachelor/bachelorette groups, etc. driving in from LA, SD, and other areas within a few hours drive.
