.:)So I turn on CNN and see this battle-hardened face of a middle aged man trying to hold fundraisers for Donald Trump.His brief bio mentioned something about real estate.Then I got curious and googled the heck out of him.His name is "Thomas J Barrack Jr".There you go.Go google him too.I'll wait here........OK.Welcome back.So my big question is:Let's assume I'm not a very patient person and I wanna be where this guy is sometime in the very near future.How do I get hooked up with Saudi Princes too and get to invest "some $200 million in Middle East real estate and $534 million in non-performing German real estate loans.."?

The other contractor repairs the existing tub, guarantees the work for 3 years, and the job takes 2 hours to do but the tub has to sit untouched for 3 days in order to harden.  

I ask at the Housing Office on base to see what areas are in demand, and work to harden the rentals so that expenses are reduced at turn-overs.  

Buying half a million dollar property sight-unseen is a little risky, even for the most hardened, experienced investors, IMHO.  

And, that's on a triplex that was fully renovated and hardened after we purchased.

At least I am trying after learning hard way  I think most of us if not all of us who are hardened landlords once had a softer stance.

Perhaps harden one during turn-over.

Hard lesson, just when I think I'm hardened enough. 

As the decades pass, it tends to harden, almost petrify.

@Lavar Harden, I would not recommend changing the holding entity right before sale.
