I like to hit the poker tables as well, but it seems like such a waste to sit there for hours in vegas.

It would probably take a crew of 3 guys about a week and 10 dumpsters to clean out.There was an open space in the dining room where the table was.

Basically, you want someone to go through the house and nitpick for every single small thing that will need to be done and have them estimate the low and high values for repairs.Then you go to the negotiation table.

You start talking about the notion of buying an apartment building and they start to look like your speaking french.

As a renter now, you are paying someone elses mortgage - why not turn the tables?

My education cost me a lot in money spent on programs and seminars that only taught enough to get in trouble as well as in deals and money left on the table.

I speak fluent Spanish, english, french, understand Italian, Portuguese.All the best.

The last check should be the one that they use to put food on the table so they don't want to see it get smaller every day that the work isn't done.GET IT ALL IN WRITING.One last thought, also get a contractor lein release waver signed when they are done or when you fire them so that they don't attach a lein to your property.

Then 1 year later the market drops, you try to sell your home and find out you have to BRING cash to the table!

I googled a bit and found an interesting article (OPINION) outlining some reasons why "Kenny Boy" might actually turn the tables on Bush instead:http://dir.salon.com/story/opinion/feature/2004/07/08/kenneth_lay/index.htmlBut do I think that will happen?
