Our attorney served him a few times in a row and in a way that got him shook up.

Welcome @Brandon Madden!  

@Brandon Madden using a FHA loan to acquire your first rental is a great way to start your REI career.  

The last recession barely shook us! 

The fire in Oakland shook the box and now code violations will be synched up to limit liabilities going forward(My opinion).

I will confess that I have been maintaining my own "cork board" on one of my internal VMs ... it's cumbersome, but far less maddening than BP's "search" function :-)While I'm being a polite nag ... could we also add the ability to arrange our colleagues into a hierarchy of groupings?

It's maddening to wait.  

Would love to hear how things shook out for you -- did you end up opening the brokerage? 

For example I ended up having a conversation with someone I happened to meet at a local restaurant and he mentioned he was looking at getting into some real estate investing in the future in our area as he had been doing so in Florida in the past.It was a good conversation and great to meet someone else looking to do something I’d like to do as well in this market.He ended up having to leave abruptly as his friends had arrived.So we shook hands and said “see you around”After he left I was thinking it would have been great to be able to hand him a card with my contact information on it and some sort of message that shows I’m and investor.I’m just curious if anyone uses them for times like this and if so, has it been worth it and what do you have on your card?

I wouldn’t ordinarily do this but She’s pretty destitute so I had the ( stupid) idea I’d give her my Christmas ham that I receive from my w2 job each year since I only like spiral honey Hams. when I went to my triplex  to my dismay I saw where she had slithered  into the basement and confiscated all three  snow shovels and was keeping them to herself in her unit but when questioned she was a adamit they were all hers that she bought -all three lol I just shook my head ,laughed to myself how I got robbed by a little old lady ,and remembered why I don’t give out gifts !!
