But I thought investing in real estate was mysterious and scary and that one needed resources, knowledge, connections and skills I didn't have access to. 

God works in mysterious ways thank you Brian.

Here are a few basic details taken from my "Mysteries of Credit Score" handout.Mysteries of Credit Score•The Fair Isaac score FICO is specifically designed to represent whether the person will go 90-days late within the next two years of a specific date.

Kind of like cops will look at petty theft if they have time for it but not at the expense of investigating robbery and murders etc.The notary and under oath is to keep people from calling in and making worthless threats that are not based in fact they just want to stick it to somebody on a deal.

Violent crime is a big deal in Cleveland Heights, and a murder is regional news.

sure since you have made millions in wholesaling then you should have a huge bank account.. simply close and resell... no more mystery than that.and if you have been doing it for years.. you should have stellar credit and tax returns to back it up and you can get LOC from local community banks..  

The crime map didn't look all that promising, either (two murders in the past 2 months on neighboring streets of the property I was looking at, lots of petty theft, etc).

It has been struggling with a high murder rate for a while now.https://thecancunsun.com/cancu...I will say that most of the tourist areas are pretty safe according to most reports.

Someone gave me a copy of her $900 DVD set on rehabbing a few years ago, and it was the most pathetic attempt at a rehab training video I could possibly imagine (for any Mystery Science Theater fans out there, it was 10x worse than anything they covered).

You'll probably get a lot better interaction here on the site when people don't have to look at the "mystery Man" holding the dollar sign!
