Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies who spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.

Quote from @Account Closed: I would say.. can you save the tub and re-glaze and redo the tile on the wall can save you $1,000 or more just on materials and labor..

I bet $2 we are all wasting our time replying to this nonsense.

@Dani Beit-Or  Yes, nationwide/Wall Street backed lenders offer HELOCs on investment properties. 

We worked so hard to provide that all the information the CPA need and wanted and at the end it was wasted of our time and effort. 

@Jaron Walling, Thanks for that shout out. 

I would not worry with wasting your time. 

One of my bizz partners sold his garbage company to waste management for 75 mil his balance sheet is a crack up.. house in Napa valley house one in Lake tahoe hunting ranch some commercial in downtown Napa. and a big huge wad in triple net munis  and zero debt.

The two residential mentorships I did were bogus and a waste of about $15,000 all in that could have gone towards a project.
