I, like many used to think “newbies” posted questions or asked for “help” to obtain the best advice from experienced investors, obtain guidance on strategic alternatives, or get a qualified opinion on whether the latest hot guru was worth the $40k price of admission.But, I was WRONG.No, none of those reasons are why newbies come to BP.They don’t want to find out that their “revelation” about how to invest has been tried about 10 million times - with limited successThey don’t want to learn that without capital, knowledge and experience their willingness to commit weekends is near uselessThey don’t want our opinion that they should skip trying to wholesale and spend some time learning as a licensed agentThey don’t want advice that has them taking classes at community colleges or learning real estate law, finance, or principles.So WHAT do they seek when they come to BPThey want comfort, encouragement. and to be told their thoughts are correct.

I always try to get as much advice from people with more knowledge than I have before getting into anything so I'm hoping there will be some experienced people here who can give me some advice. 

If it’s old clay pipes (experienced that mess in MD) then I’d just replace.

Maybe @Joel Owens can give you some tips he is in GA and is a very experienced Broker/owner.

Myself and I'm sure many more experienced investors would agree that real estate is almost never completely passive.
