@Morris,how do (did) you find a reputable skip tracer, there are so many online to choose from.Going to the County ROD is a good idea, but they would only have the last address that the property owner provided.

Go to Lowes, buy a ground rod, drive it in, buy some ground wire and fish it to your box and install a GFI box and keep your fingers crossed, at least that outlet would be grounded, but you can't ground the old panel as they do new ones.I would not ground electrical to a water pipe, especially in an electrical storm while sitting in the bath tub.Another option might be to ask the electrician why he suggested a false ground that isn't to code and if he'd really want to bet his license on that fix.

Curtain rods, door hardware, etc Thursday.

He also connected us with Stewart Ritter of Pillar to Post for the inspection. 

Stewart Title may consider doing it as the sales price is high enough.  

I think with the big lakes and lake front homes and all that goes on you will do very well there.I did one flip there a few years back that was marginal just because I had a marginal guy doing it.. try to find Stewart Fox on BP  his family is from there and they are very experienced in the business and heavily invested in the area for years.Best of luck and GREAT choice I fly through Houston and for the life of me I can't figure out how anyone could live there year round  LOL  but that me..

Also, I'm about halfway through "Lifetime Cashflow Through Multifamily Properties" by Rod Khleif and it's really good.

Good luck @Jeff Stewart .

First American, Stewart title and others will NOT insure quit claims anymore.
