Local residents should take initiative to fix their own neighborhoods and lives.Maybe I'm cold and believe that people should be responsible for their own lives-- and in the slums, that could mean 80 hours a week, getting off welfare, educating oneself, skimping by on Ramen and having no TV/phone/cable/other luxury service or goods, shopping thrift stores for clothes, not smoking or drinking (expensive), not going out to eat or to clubs or movies when poverty-striken on welfare, cutting all expenses when on welfare and taking any job that's offered, making wise choices, and moving away from the slums.

My suggestions from this point forward ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Do not mention you played professional sports anymore( gold diggers / con artist / etc )Do not put “professional athlete” in your online bio( maybe mention the college you attended )Attend your local rei clubs meetings as average joe (do not be flashy at all while working with realtors and investors – clothes ,jewelry, costly meals, transportation )If you can play another season or two go ahead– offset your initial real estate investing costsMaybe consider being a real estate agent near your local college “Shaq” move -> local popularity to sell propertiesWatch ESPN “Broke” Directed by Billy CorbenAct & talk like your average joe when working with agents / investorsStart out at a small modest rate when investing avoid friends/family members looking for hand outs - jobs , cash , etcAvoid real estate gurus– Do not go all or nothing attitude when you start out investingGo through Bigger pockets threads during your down timeTeam up with people you can trust and get alone with Use other people money when possible (private money)– local and overseas connections- stay away from hard money loans , if possibleReally know your local market your investing inMaybe hire a property management to work with tenants (tenants might act stupid,, if they think you already have money)(property mgmt - always double check their numbers)(do not be afraid to fire someone when need )Real Estate investing is a business ( you can be ahead or down really fast )Good luck

I will spend thousands of dollars on travel and dining and las vegas gambling, but still wearing the same clothes I have been wearing for ten years because I am too cheap to pay for clothes.

Her claimed damages include CDs, papers, clothes.

They then treated (painted) the wood with an antibacterial paint (I think it was Microban or something like it).Note removal was done with proper ventilation and protective clothing including respirator/mask designed to filter out mold.

If there is a large amount of junk like old broken furniture, cardboard, dirty clothes and misc. garbage I rent a roll-off construction dumpster and hire a couple people hourly through friends or, if necessary, Craigslist and work with them to haul stuff out.

They are seasoned experts in their niche, all older and mostly retired, have owned RE so long they don't even remember what year they paid it off and wear work clothes.

People need to eat, sleep and wear clean clothes; everything else you can provide beyond that is a bonus.

And I’ll do the same yoga routine to remove idiots who cause me a pain in the rear.

Any folks out there with dryers in their units or have tenants bring their own dryers should watch the video on the linked page:http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/appliances/laundry-and-cleaning/clothes-dryers/reports/dryer-fire-caution/index.htm
