For the most part I'm venting here, but I'd love to know how many of you who are years into this and running a successful REI business for your selves, A) at the beginning felt like throwing your hands into the air, and B) what you did to keep your self from getting broken down by the difficulties starting out.To give a little context here...I have been feeling really great about the progress I've made of the last 6 months.

Had they been, they wouldnt have been throw out and been crushed.

Thanks Harry....I was able to run my numbers fine on my single family homes, but this one is throwing me for a loop.

I'll look for a decent picture of myself to throw on BP. :-)

They have to be someone that can pull the trigger on both.So can anybody throw out some numbers of the most expensive foundation estimate they've ever heard of or seen?

I would limit the exterior work to pressure washing the exterior and painting the front door in a warm earth tone color.Maybe you could dress up the front porch area with a few potted plants, and 2 cherry stained wooden chairs with throw pillows or something.

Talking about throwing good money after bad.

The face someone covered it up with plywood and didn't do it right to me definitely throws up a big red flag.

Tenant claims to have no money to pay the rent but the first 3 words she told the sheriff when they came to throw her out is that she has the money to pay which is BS.

Joe is also right, we'll throw aside the offer if it has any contingencies other than "Cash Offer - As Is".
