We have 'house hacked' a couple homes throughout our marriage, but two years ago I quit my job (at 48) and started REI full time, after taking some 'guru' courses (have no regrets whatsoever).

I will say that getting them to schedule the inspection in a timely manner has been like pulling teeth.

The tenant has no duty whatsoever to leave HIS property to go anywhere.  

I think only in Florida a land trust has more teeth, but otherwise a land trust is not going to do much for liability protection.

No churned stomach, no gnashing of teeth about wanting to squeeze the tenants head until their eyes pop out and they look like the unit did.

Mike I am beginning to believe that you really have no experience in this business whatsoever, unless you consider writing a book and blogging about the downfall of the American poor to be experience..

I am attempting to close two of them at 5.65 with 2 points this week, and it seems like I am pulling teeth to even get a response email.

They might also be able to sell your personal financial info.The easiest way to discourage a scammer from any contact is to make it clear at the outset that you will not be sending them any money whatsoever.

The green tea will also provide some calming to you during this stressful time along with some excellent strengthening to your teeth and bones while providing some trace chemicals your body will need.You'll see that as we go into further lengths of time, I'm adding more foods to this that are considered holistic and or eastern health foods.

As far as #3, I've never thought about bludgeoning myself, but I have on occassion wanted to show a tenant what elbows do to teeth.
