I may come on here and ask advice about some deal I was thinking of, but when the deal actually goes down, there are real flesh and blood people with fiduciary duties to me being paid to watch out for me... no exceptions. 

That guy and his dogs must have lost a pint of blood a day.

Sadly they are my latest example of why you don't go with low-service brokerage and cell phone pics online.

You'll have to judge if your tenant is the sort of person who even has credit cards, cell phone bills, utility bills in their name.

. - I'm not sitting waiting for the phone to ring, nor am I likely to answer a cell phone while driving (it's illegal in many areas).

If you cannot commit your own blood and sweat, you will lose your shirt.

Every vehicle used to park cash is at risk but in this day and age real estate is simply too high risk for my blood.

There is one way to find out if it's hers....Blood test. hehe

I would also consider closed cell foam insulation on the joists and underside of the subfloor.

I know a lot of investors use the phrase "sent out to my list" now I personally use a email blast and text if I have that investors cell number.
