@Jordan Decuir : I'd be happy to swap war stories!

They are currently swapping g partners for banking which may create some hassles but the interest rate is exceptional and promised to stay sane or better.  

We swapped out to lithium over a year ago and see much better battery life.

But the real money is made like when his bank got bought out.. he made over 1 million in the stock swap.. that's where financial freedom comes from for many sale of a business or some other type of event that takes you along for the ride..

I would argue that not only is it possible to make money if you don't rehab yourself, it's absolutely necessary that you don't do the rehab yourself.Unless you are a licensed contractor, you shouldn't be doing things like removing walls, installing ceiling fans, swapping outlets, replacing windows, etc etc.

I look forward to making new friends and swapping ideas with everyone.

The statutory definition of securities is as follows:The term “security” means any note, stock, treasury stock, security future, security-based swap, bond, debenture, evidence of indebtedness, certificate of interest or participation in any profit-sharing agreement, collateral-trust certificate, preorganization certificate or subscription, transferable share, investment contract, voting-trust certificate, certificate of deposit for a security, fractional undivided interest in oil, gas, or other mineral rights, any put, call, straddle, option, or privilege on any security, certificate of deposit, or group or index of securities (including any interest therein or based on the value thereof), or any put, call, straddle, option, or privilege entered into on a national securities exchange relating to foreign currency, or, in general, any interest or instrument commonly known as a “security”, or any certificate of interest or participation in, temporary or interim certificate for, receipt for, guarantee of, or warrant or right to subscribe to or purchase, any of the foregoing.

We identified the little things that would make a big difference: hardware would need to be changed out, bathrooms would need to be recaulked, cracked porcelain replaced, old ceiling fans, outlets, and switches all swapped out with new.

I'm hoping to find fellow investors to swap ideas and possibly work together if the right deal and person came along.

For instance, they usually do not enforce swapping out a water heater without a permit, but they tend to make a bigger deal out of a full roof replacement without a permit.But here is the catch.
