Hi @Daniel Gabler,If you're new, your first move should either be within a 2 hour drive of where you live/work, OR if out of state then within 30 minutes or so of blood relatives that you are in frequent contact with.Rules and GRMs and all that move the needle very little compared to the cost of an abusive/negligent OOS prop manager, an eviction, or anything similar to that. 

We are moving back into the house this summer, as we love the area so much, and know I am committing a cardinal sin here, and are emotionally attached to the house.There was a lot of blood, sweat, and a few tears, involved in that house.

I'm not happy with my typical 9-5 routine, traveling (for work) for weeks if not months at a time, and more than anything how little there is to show for all the hard work I'm doing to make other people money.In many respects REI is in my blood - my grandfather, uncle, and cousin have all made sizable fortunes through REI but unfortunately I haven't gotten the bug until now.

Trying to squeeze blood from a stone here...

I've ramped up efforts to buy more lots, but it's blood sport to get the right dirt, at the right place, at the right price. 

I don't want there to be any bad blood.

They're broke so suing them is like trying to get blood from a stone. 

Great point on listing responsibilities out - the last thing I'd want is for there to be any bad blood over a deal where both sides were trying to help each other out. 

Hello Everyone,New blood here by way of Foxboro, Massachusetts (Go Pats).

You don't pay the rate of a heart surgeon to have your blood pressure taken, even if that doc takes it, his surgery rates are different.
