The fathers of these intelligence arms set it up to be civilian controlled to prevent the notion that someday if a military state were pushed here, these organizations could work to protect our civilian population.

My goal for this year is to:By July make $30k from wholesalingBy Oct Invest in 4 rentals and/or lease options ( SFH and multi-plexs ) resulitng in a $3000 cashflow altogether.By November realize that I need to break my notions of making it in this biz, and start looking at the real deals out there!

My experience with dealing with a slumlord also backs up the notion that that don't give a hoot about code violations.

That's a crazy notion in our market (and most around the U.S.).

@Jake Kucheck Interesting notion looking for all the kids on probation that got kicked out the dorm.

This definitely depends on the quality of the building and location, but I wouldn't dismiss 2-4 unit properties with the notion that they're harder to sell.

There may have been no need to go through probating the estate, if the property was jointly owned (both the man and ex-wife having their names on the deed); in many places, there is the notion of joint ownership with rights of survivorship, so that the passing of the one co-owner leaves the property to the remaining co-owner(s).Now, the possibility that the ex-wife put other names on the deed complicates matters - they now have ownership interest.

It's very easy for you to have your preconceived notions on the deal, and it's easy for these guys to pencil out the deal and say it doesn't look good.

I think you have a textbook case of a realtor who knows zilch about investing or has preconceived notions, probably has never invested herself, and has a patronizing attitude to boot.I'd move on to someone else.

Double check on your State LLC annual costs because I was under the notion that the state of PA charged $500/yr for LLC and sent in the payment.
