@Steve Hall I do recognize these are business expenses, forgive me for my casual use of words.

Without proof and because of the 15 year clean history with the contractor (how well I knew the tenant would play-in here too), I would tell the tenant I do not believe the contractor stole the property, the complaint has gone on file, and I will be assuming innocence until proven otherwise, or until a second complaint from a different tenant is made.

Truth is that there is opportunity in EVERY market (even North Country) so long as you know how to recognize, expose, and capitalize on it.

Nice part of this cert is that Energy Star is a well recognized logo, and you get to use the logo on you CDs, the building, and any project specific marketing materials.

They have a proven system and are trying to monetize it like everyone in Real Estate.

I don't recognize the company name, but it's possible I'll recognize the name of the individual.. 

Being confident in the numbers and recognizing YOUR strategy allows you to be disciplined in determining how far you’re willing to go in the purchase or sale of a property, realizing of course, that sometimes the best deal is the deal that’s never done.

The difference between new business failing and new franchises succeeding is franchises have perfected a system that’s has proven to work time and time again.

Follow a proven system with a reputable company that will "hold your hand" and not throw you over the fence to other people that don't have your best interests in mind.The above is true for both new and seasoned investors alike.Continued success!

CREATE  a great deal, leave some equity on the table, advertise it right and the knowledgeable buyer will recognize a great deal and the buyers will come.If you do that, your buyers list will grow along with your cash flow ........I always say, "Buy Low, Sell Low and do it Often!"
