Arv wouldStill be around 265,000 if we ditched the bathroom as realtor said that was a conservative price, but said it would help sellFaster.

Chop some wood, dig a ditch or punch a pillow.

I realize that any investment will require some due diligence, but in this case I wouldn't even know where to start.Thanks.There are some risks like non-paying property owners because you bought a tax lien on a piece of ditch, bankruptcy, etc.

They have painted, used power tools, measured and cut siding, placed trim, dug ditches, cut sheetrock, pulled carpet, filled dumpsters, swept roofs, raked yards, cleaned driveways and gutters, built walls, hung new cabinets, hung notices, sat in court, and so much more; if they knew it or not learned more hands-on Real Estate than any book could teach them.All that said, my 23 year old daughter wants to get into the business.

My suggestion is to ditch the CL ads and hit the streets and the forums.

@Joe Gravelle to summarize and agree with others.700 credit score - ditch the score and look at their credit report.

Look for an inexpensive used car that will fit your needs or as @Amit Kal suggested, ditch the car if possible.  

It is quite literally "bling leading the blind, into the ditch".  

Right now, you're running head-long into the ditch!

I’m guessing most REI folks would say ditch the property but I am constantly being told by family, friends, and randoms that I should NOT sell my house… main reasoning being that owning a house is like gold in silicon valley and that I would not be able to afford to buy back in if I decided to move back.
