i wish i had gas, but it's a pain to clean the oven. my wife said "it's smooth top or you are cleaning it". so, we dont have gas. lol

I bought a rotating display (used in jewelry stores to display watches and bracelets), it rotates very smoothly about once ever 30 seconds).  

I suppose it is good news that my first eviction went as smoothly as it possibly could have.

But still there are offering a cash, as-is, no-inspection offer smooths the process along.As a flipper who sells to people with such contingencies I can tell you it can seriously bog things down.  

I'm happy to find a community of like minded individuals that can make my journey into this industry smooth as possible.

There will always be surprises, so it's a good idea to have cash on hand to smooth out the bumps.If you're going for reliable cash flow, it's the only way to go.

I will say the first deal with Udirect wasn't as smooth as it could have been, but that wasn't so much Udirect as the person in the office not having as good a grasp on the process and what was and wasn't allowed, and the handling of the paperwork for the process.

With a helper the job went very smoothly and I was done with the two attic areas in about an hour.

Other than this its been very smooth sailing, and like I said above I learned my lesson and will be performing monthly walkthoughs from here on out.Thanks for the repsonses guys

It is hard for people to break their employee/self employed mindset and to think like a business owner/ investor.Now that we have our first tenants and everything is going smoothly one of our biggest detractors (my father inlaw) now wants to help us look for our next property and even is trying to convince his gf to do what we did.Be brave, be prepared and follow through and those voices will change their tunes.
