Why on earth do you need your parents involved ?

Turnkey Invest (Memphis, Tennessee): I spoke with James at Turnkey Invest and even though he was 30 minutes late for our call he made up for it with his incredibly down to earth demeanor and friendly attitude.

Why on earth are you doing that when you need the cash for the roofs and etc.? 

I had one tenant just up and leave, left all his earthly possessions (which wasn't much since the room was furnished).

He is a long-time industry member and the salt of the earth.

If you're looking at the image in Google Earth, it should have an "Imagery Date" along the bottom like in this photo:Another cool feature that Google offers is the ability to go back and pick a point in time and view an image from that date and see how an area has changed over time.

The single largest debtor on earth is the US government.

@Ann HowellLet me start by thanking you for sharing your experience in the forum.....It is indeed a learning point to us all in this community.I attended the webiner for the Birmingham TK in which Marverick promised heaven and earth, guaranteeing investment outcomes as if the had a crystal ball, Well, I felt it was oversold and probably over marketed...just like any other 'shows' they put up for other locations, including phillaldephia.By the way, Marverick is just  a marketer and does not own any property anywhere.......Although extra due diligence may have saved the day, but I do not utterly blame you for not extending due diligence to the seller; after all, Marverick guaranteed them...but needless to say, guarantee is as good as the guarantor, and from this story, am not sure Marverick has much of it.I am happy you finally got an investment property although as a much higher and painful cost.Of greater concern to me, really, is the place of law in seeking redress here: 1. if forged documents were used to close on this property, are there no legal implications? 

Upgrade your circulators(pumps), motors make up like 20% of the energy used on earth.

Not to mention that some of the aspects of Brian's thought simply require experience of the dynamics - CFFU gets people that starting point upon to base some experience.This is BP - otherwise known as the most anti-guru place on Earth.
