:I think bandit signs have gotten a lot of negative publicity and some people are now associating these signs with predators looking to steal a house....Yes, the local news in my area did an expose about people wanting to steal homes and they talked about these signs - warning homeowners to not call anyone "from blind signs on the corner."

Tenants should be informed to clear snow around those openings to allow for proper functioning of the heating system.If you have oil or propane heat, then there must be access to the fill openings in case fuel delivery is needed.I also encourage that snow be removed from around the nearest fire hydrant, so that in the event of a misfortune such as a fire, that the fire crews aren't wasting precious time excavating the hydrant.But what I typically see is a run on the grocery stores, for items like milk, eggs and bread...

Also, if you use a portfolio lender, your interest rate may be a little higher, but there's no set limit (like Fannie) on how many loans you can have..at some point, the VP of the bank may say you're too exposed or something, but in general, their guidelines are more flexible for investors...i would definitely recommend chatting up a bunch of small banks with 3 branches or less to see who would be interested in this..as a bonus, i even put my extra cash (liquid reserves) in their bank to show loyalty was a 2 way street...hope that helps

This is in North Dallas, and these are newer heat pumps, installed last year 16 SEER variable speed units.There's no Natural Gas where we are - we do have Propane, but we only use that to heat pool or hot tub, and for a fireplace.Just as a test, several weeks back when our weather had highs in the 20's and lows in the teens I switched to emergency heat (heat strips) to see if the heat pumps were really saving us money vs straight electric heat - indeed they were.
Bill Gulley When are you Speculating vs. Investing?
27 May 2011 | 12 replies
While J.T. addressed the issues of risk, which is inherent to speculation and investing in real estate, it fails to address the difference between speculation and investing.Let me begin by going way back to the first chapter of Economics 101, after the professor introduces themselves and begins talking about the general introductions to the topic, the student will be first exposed to the four basic functions of economics:Land, Labor, Capital and Entrepreneurship.These four functions of our economy are the ingredients necessary, to some extent, for every business transaction made by mankind.Success in any business means mastering the manipulation or use of these four elements.
