I’ve never made a deal with someone to buy their property (with my fingers crossed behind my back), and then gone out and tried to find a buyer so I could make the deal happen.

This will result in potential properties falling through your fingers.

Contracts, MLS, all at your finger tips 24/7.

But, for me at least, it's worth the lower returns to not have to lift a finger or a brain cell.

*keeps fingers crossed* I have more to this story in another thread titled An advocate for my tenant called.

Took the words right off of my finger tips...

They have sharp spurs/burrs and stick to everything including dogs, children, socks, fingers, etc, and draw blood (and curses).After the invasion, the only permitted solution is spraying and one has to regularly spray for 1-2 years to eliminate... ask me how I know.

This is far and away the biggest skill you can develop while learning.Create or DL a spreadsheet and work it till your fingers hurt.

Priming a middle finger on that side of the property for a few days may relieve some stress.

I initially thought I had a moisture issue or leak from 2nd floor but it was none of these things....And BTW there is a method to test if you haev these ceilings.. generally if you rub your fingers against the ceiling if you have calcamine you generally will get a very chalky residue on your fingers....Thankfully this was only used on the ceilings because I have read about it being used on walls as well.
