I think the *intent* is so someone is not making an 'income' from their retirement acount (save putting 10K of labor into a flip).So, can you take off the screen and take it in to be repaired or put a nail in that piece of trim that is loose?

@Jay Hinrichs - You hit the nail right on the head, in the end we did exactly just that and brought someone on board who helped us bring in the rest of the money we needed in exchange to a share of being a General Partner.

No one is going to fake it and lose a license, get fined or get nailed in some fraudulent scam, IMO. :)

Every corporate 401K has that door nailed, bolted and welded shut.

One homeowner may comment that they were referred to the vendor, fought tooth and nail, and got restitution, whereas another less fortunate homeowner my have been told to pound sand.I have several examples of situations where an HOA vendor has caused direct damage to my property, I've complained to the HOA, only to receive a letter (almost immediately, certainly faster than any other requests), stating that the issue is not the responsibility of the HOA.It seems they have a form letter that states "not our fault" that they crank out immediately.

The team will form as I nail down my plan and dive in.

We use screwed down underlayment on our tiled floors...be sure they don't use roofing nails as that's a standard practice.

Loose and missing pickets, guard rails secured to walls with nails only.

They nailed it.

I don't want to get nailed for practicing real estate without a license so I wonder if anybody has any suggestions on how I should do this.
