Hey this is Tommy Coan, I was set on learning all I could about Real Estate investing mainly house flipping, but it wasn't long after I became a member I was diagnosed with colorectal cancer and was told right off it would be a 9 to 12 month process, well it's getting closer to the end of my battle with cancer( for the good that is).

Also a PERSONAL umbrella will follow form on the homeowners, so make sure you don't fall foul of the business liability exclusion, which if you are renting more than one week, you certainly will.

Its just a constant battle.

Nothing like the smell of old rubber in the heat of the day when your walking past the gardens.

Successful Realtors smell opportunity and shift their business and their education in that direction.  

Well we did the walkthrough the problem I am running into is removing the moldy smell.  

Just think of the smell when you drain the water .........................  

I know some great commercial attorneys locally there.The MAI appraiser is NOT going to know how to structure the lease and terms to protect your interest.When we do deals this size it is a battle between each attorney back and forth redlining the agreements fighting over every word.

You can have all the contracts in the world, but if they other guy has more money, they'll bleed you dry in court so you might win a small battle, but you'll lose the war. 

yes, i agree, the shawshank redemption is a good movie and his line in there really hits home. but you can't live life thinking how little time you have left. i had a grand father that was taken captive in the battle of the bulge in wwII. he thought he was gonna die like anyone else did there. he lived to be 89 and dropped dead making his breakfast. his wife, my grandmother, lived to be only 56. you have no idea how long you are gonna live, so, just live. take risks, see where they lead you. if you don't like the path it takes you down, switch paths
