My friend arranged for us to meet and I was amazed how much of smart yet simple guy he was, super down to earth.  I

Safeguards would include verbiage like; no grills, candles, open flames, ect.

On the inside, the apartment was left pretty dirty..greasy stove from oil being over heated, dust all over ceiling and walls(an impressive amount), wall stains from what looks like candles or incense burning?

Tahoe is one of my favorite places on Earth! I

I dealt with Russians in Yugoslavia, Bosnia, and Kosovo and even took out targets in Iraq at the direction of Pres Clinton to take the Lewinski candle off his back.

My wife and I started a Coaching company and added Bookkeeping Services to it, in order to grow more.Then we bought a Candle business using Seller Finance, which wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for BP, and now there is a section to help others learn more about being able to do this!

@Courtney Olson I did this for my candle business but it could work for real estateMaybe offer Step Up  Payments too, as long as the number works, and hint at it helping wiht inflation and maybe combined it with an interest rate that is above typical inflation.A combo of something like 4% inflation to keep your same spending power as the years go, and we increase the payment by $25/month every 12 months so your spending power stays the same and you get a bit of a raise every year, then we could do a balloon payment in 10 years to settle the rest.Something like that could be an option. 

This has stood the test of time and has proven to be the better choice.At our 8-plex we had one tenant burn a hole in a plastic/acrylic tub surround when she placed tea light candles in the soap holder.

Hayward, alameda, union city, newark, etc could be the contenders but imo 10years from now they won't hold a candle to EPA's growth.

My Irmo co-workers wanted to know why on earth I would want to live “down there”.
