. ;-)@Albert Ng, it's nice hearing from you.

@Christpher Schuebel love it BUT venting, 240v line or NG lines could be a big issue.

My name is Sophia Duong I'm looking for a way to invest the money that I've saved over the past couple of years in hopes of building a supplemental income stream in addition to my 9-5 sales job.

@Alvin Ng, the first problem is you live in CA. 

@Patrick Ng - I see, ok then you should not have an issue. 

Welcome Serena Duong!

When we rehabbed it we went with NG forced air HVAC to eliminate the old system & having to trace pipes in walls/ceilings.We have also found the older thin metal p-traps frozen so we drain or rip them out.Our problem here is water meters freezing & that's a major issue if they burst.However, we currently have a SFH 'winterized' but we do have the heat on (55deg) & our last NG bill was $55.96 & that's cheap insurance !!!! 

@Mike Nguyen  @Rich Ng is correct  its your job as the buyer to CYOAF. 

This is a no equity deal, I would do a lease option assignment and get some training from the K I N G of lease options in TX, @John Jackson who I trained in lease option assignments in 2001, and hes done only 450 lease option assignments or more.Just dont make fun of how he looks or talks, hes a little goofy...

Almost all his savings were wiped out.This included money for his family, two schoolgoing children and holiday plans.Mr Kenneth Ng, 43, never imagined himself to be a real estate investor, but after listening to a speaker at a property seminar, he invested almost all of his $80,000 savings.The supply chain executive, who earns $8,000 a month, bought a "fixer-upper" in the US city of Memphis for US$55,000 (S$74,500).A fixer-upper is real estate slang for a property that needs maintenance work, such as redecoration, reconstruction or redesign, before it can be lived in.That was in 2013.Mr Ng never got the promised returns.The property guru who made the sales pitch?
