As a lawyer, I just want to add that before you make any type of investment in this fashion, get some personalized advice from a qualified attorney.

Find out what is the norm in your state and do what the fashion in your area dictates.

IMHO he did not keep a professional manner and did not handle the issue in a customer friendly fashion......I am glad he refunded me at this point since I am not interested in rolling the dice on any more $1500+ programs but I was shocked to see that he did not care to better explain the reasoning behind the waiting time for setup VS the guarantee time limit ......or even try to level with me as a customer.

If someone could prove that unusable fireplaces add value, I'd start learning to lay brink.I almost beat what is happening is that when buyers are touring properties bet they say things like they love it, its gives it that old fashion feel.Taking that at face value you miss what i am assuming in buyers trying to convince themselves, that the house is worth buying, even if it does come with a worthless eyesore.  

Even so, in true Rich Dad fashion I'd like to ask 'How Can I?'

Good old fashioned face-to-face business will never go away.

Most states have a requirement of a notice and opportunity to cure of some form or fashion.

I am just not sure how to attract out of state investors in any fashion.

Of course, these are suggestions and opinions only - I am, in no way, form or fashion a real estate professional - just a fellow investor in Columbus. 

What I'm really curious about now though, is whether or not moving the properties into an LLC in this fashion would reduce my personal number of financed properties when applying for additional loans, mostly with respect to the fannie mae reserve requirements."
