We are supposed to vacuum and keep free.

Horse-feathers as my grandfather would say.Skimming over the aspects of finding a note, negotiating a price, getting agreements and assignments signed, calling the borrower and introducing yourself is not an education, it's an enlightenment to the process.Now, hopefully everyone knows why I seem so negative when someone that has no finance knowledge, very little real estate knowledge and a lack of business experience posts to say they want to get into the note business and begin next month after some crash course.If someone is a technician in some field or a business operator, perhaps an airline pilot or a computer engineer, there is no way I could step into their shoes in a month or probably a year and do what they do.

I'm an early retiree from the airline business, investing my retirement assets in a self directed IRA.

Its a great place to be, especially if you're a biker/hiker/skier/fisherman like me.I'm an early retiree from a major airline.

In this attic there were 10 vacuum cleaners, 7 TVs, 8 mattresses, 8-10 microwaves, mountains of clothes, several bowling balls, pots and pans for 10 housholds, and several tons of other junk collected from at least 20 years of tenants.

Well if you play the game, you know it is far easier to win if you are a janitor, teacher, truck driver, etc, than if you are the Attorney, Airline Pilot, etc.Why?

On mine, they always refund on the non-airline affiliated cards.

After vacuum testing the ball never gets pulled.

You need to decide what things you might want like under cabinet lighting, central vacuum, and garbage disposals to name a few items that are often overlooked during the bidding process.Since you mentioned it, one of the biggest mistakes I see in plans designed by owners or bought from one of the many plan books is the garage.

hi arthur,I have before pictures, but the pee stains are very hard to detect. i do not have to replace the carpet and they ran the wet style vacuum on the carpet on numerous occasions. the discolorations though are still there. i charged them to repair a dark spot (left a bag of potatoes for a long time), but not for the pee stains.just wanted to see what everyone else does when tenants move out and the carpet has stains.
