Getting to here has been a 2 year journey - reading, analyzing, contemplating, no action, repeat.  

Am I going to learn or re-learn truly useful stuff, like the above for how to help mothers with newborns get a right-sized house for the expanding family (which incidentally might benefit Quinton the REI in a bad HML), or is it going to be a bunch of useless mind-numbing junk that makes me want to contemplate self-harm?

We are contemplating on finding an agent or selling ourself as we speak..

Especially if you're contemplating taking on a large debt level for a car wash, real estate, etc.  

We are contemplating building spec houses for resale, rental houses, or a trailer park.

I am holding onto it until a developer contacts me, but I have been contemplating if I should build a house and sale it.

I've contemplated similar moves and feel it's worth thinking long and hard about that kind of trade.

This is separate from any recovery for violation of the property code, finance code, criminal code...Anyone contemplating this course of action should talk to an attorney licensed in your state first. 

When you first acquire a property, you should get to know your inherited tenants before you contemplate upgrading their units ... you definitely figure out if you want to keep them before  you upgrade anything in their unit.    

I know that our sales contract contemplates the security deposits being transferred at closing, which would have been a better time to bring up that the seller did not collect them.
