Heck, it's my life blood of managing simple projects that I can share with my staff.

I spoke w/ them last night and discovered that they have 2 adults and 3 children (ages 8, 4, and 1) and 2 dogs living in a 2bd 1 ba.... their existing lease didn't specify the dog breed... but she answered honestly and told me that one was an American Stafford pit bull (terrier)... i.e. it's not a dangerous dog, but comes from the pit bull blood line and insurance companies still ban it, so I told her this would be a problem.  

There was weird splatter on walls and ceilings that we could only guess is blood.  

@Mike Landry Working less doesn’t seem to be in my blood, well not at this point in my life.

Keep in mind when using a "no money down" technique, you are still paying, just in other ways like with your time, effort, blood, sweat, first born...I know a bunch of guys that are doing a lot of deals, and most of them are not really killing it.  

The more blood and sweat he has in it, the easier you'll get him on board with you :) Best of luck!

Don't laugh but beside your name it says donor...of blood???  

Real Estate allows cheap leverage because of the assets available to secure the loans, rates are lower to get a loan on a house, than on a machine that stamps out ipod cases for instance, because next year the ipod will be bigger/smaller/thinner/fatter whatever, and your machine is obsolete, since real-estate has such a long life, its cheaper to borrow against, right?

You might even try wiping down the area with some acetone or lacquer thinner (it displaces water and speeds drying - mold spores don't care much for the stuff either).

Those are the ones that rile me up and get my blood pressure moving in the wrong direction, lol.
