Hey BP,My goal is to hear some advice and/or pointers on what has worked for people with experience in what their advice is.Background:I'm a Carpenter in Northern California working for a General Contractor totaling 40Hrs-60hrs a week My current work is mainly Tenant Improvements/Remodels, In the past I've done custom homes as well.I'm sole provider at the moment for my family and am saving what I can though it probably wont be significant for InvestingIssues (oppurtunities):Dont have much capital 5000-10,000 - Saving about 500 a month Dont have GC license yet - Will have GC license in November 2017Will have Construction Project Management Cert early 2018 (March)I'm looking to be proactive and find an oppurtunity to enter real estate investing with a sustainable stratgegy.Current thoughts:- I can work full time and get jobs on the side to add to capital power - wholesale remotly, with savings?

Could we tow their car, no, but we could do everything else, having the power to legally tow it would provide  heavy incentive for them to pay on time as we would not be bluffing, and because the towing is immediate, not a month from now when court arrives.

Then they are taking food out of my family's mouth and I will do everything in my power to legally get them out ASAPThis way I don't have to worry about violating the amount allowed for late feesIn reality the rent really is only 1050 so if they pay late I get a bonus. 

Majority of the damage is downed trees and power being out, and the wind and storm surge damage is limited.  

Joe Kim You don't lose anything on wholesale, only time and battery, if you so choose to marketing materials, that too.

So like it has been said above, know exactly what number works for you, get that amount in the form of a check, do not bid over(have WALK AWAY POWER) and go get to bidding!

I did not have power on my street until April 2006, a full 7 months after the storm.  

The following fields are listed and i've bolded what my gut says but any help would appreciated:ABANDONMENT OF ASSUMED NAMESABSTRACT OF JUDGMENTAFFIDAVITAFFIDAVIT OF CLAIMAFFIDAVIT OF HEIRSHIPAGREEMENTAMEND LIS PENDENSAMENDMENTAMENDMENT DEED OF TRUSTAMENDMENT FIN STATEMENTANNEXATIONAPPOINTMENT OF TRUSTEEAPPT OF SUBSTITUTE TRUSTEEARTICLE OF MERGERASSESSMENT LIENASSUMED NAMES (DBA)BILL OF SALEBONDBONDS AND OATHSBROKER'S LIENCANCEL TRANSFER OF DEATH DEEDCEMETERY DEEDCERT COPY OF DIVORCECERT COPY OF JUDGEMENTCERT COPY OF PROBATECERTIFICATECHILD SUPPORT LIENCHILD SUPPORT LIEN RELEASECOLLATERAL TRANSFERCOLLATERAL TRFSR RELEASECONDO PLATCONSENTCONTINUATION OF FINANCING STATCONTRACT OF SALECORPORATE RESOLUTIONCORRECTION OF DEED OF TRUSTDECLARATIONDECLARATION OF CONDOMINIUMDECLARATION OF DOMESTIC PARTDEEDDEED OF TRUSTDESIGNATION OF HMSTDDISCHARGEDISCLAIMERDISCLAIMER OF HOMESTEADDISSOLUTION OF DOM PARTEASEMENTESTATE TAX LIENEXTENSION AGREEMENTFEDERAL TAX LIENS AND NOTICESFEDERAL TAX RELEASES AND WAIVERSFINANCING STATEMENTHOME EQUITY LOANHOSPITAL LIENHOSPITAL RELEASEINFORMATIONINHERITANCE TAX CERTINST # CANCELLEDJUDGEMENTLEASELIENLIS PENDENSMECHANIC'S LIENMEMORANDUMMODIFICATIONNOTENOTICENOTICE & RECEIPTNOTICE OF BONDNOTICE OF SUBSTITUTE TRUSTEE SALEORDERORDINANCEOTHERPARTIAL CS LIEN RELEASEPARTIAL RELEASEPARTIAL RELEASE ABS JDGMTPARTIAL RELEASE EASEMENTPARTIAL RELEASE FIN STMTPARTIAL RELEASE LIS PENDENSPARTIAL RELEASE STATE TAX LIENPARTIAL TRANSFERPARTIAL VACATION OF PLATSPLATSPOSTED MEETING NOTICESPOWER OF ATTORNEYPROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION MANAGEMENT CERTIFICATEPUBLIC WEIGHERS BONDRATIFICATION PLATRECORDINGRELEASERELEASE ABS OF JDGMTRELEASE CONDOMINIUMRELEASE EASEMENTRELEASE ESTATE TAX LIENRELEASE FIN STATEMENTRELEASE LIS PENDENSRELEASE MECHANIC'S LIENREMOVE TRUSTEERESTRICTIONREVOCATION OF POWER OF ATTORNEST JUDGEMENT RELEASESTATE JUDGEMENTSTATE TAX LIENSTATE TAX LRSTATE TAX RELEASESUBORDINATION AGREEMENTTERMINATION OF FIN STMTTRANSFERTRANSFER ABS OF JDGMNTTRANSFER FIN STMTTRANSFER OF STATE JUDGEMENTTRANSFER ON DEATH DEEDTRUSTUCC-1 NON STD OPRUCC-1 STD OPRUCC-3 NSTD OPRUCC-3 STD OPRUNKNOWN CEMETERY DEEDVACATION OF PLATVARIANCEVOIDWAIVERWARRANTY DEED

The island was without power for 7 days but we had no loss of life, minimal loss to property (mostly trees down). 

Where I'm at most power/water is back on but there are many still without.
