I hope u can spare urself any more unnecessary hard lessons.BTW, convenient of him to ask u to save his ***..

Even if one has alot of cash to spare.

- Commit to becoming more involved on bigger pockets, by posting commenting on other posts and learning as much as possible in my spare time from this incredible free resource (9:35 PM 3/5/13)- Speak with a project manager I work with who currently has at numerous rental properties that I know of outside of work. (1 week goal)- Creating a basic business plan.

Have recently been spending my spare time learning as much as I can about real estate investment.

But despite attending several seminars and training, the real world application has fallen well short with only 1 bird-dog commission from chasing pre-foreclosures.I've found it hard to juggle a full-time job with trying to get started with no money in REI, LOL.I look forward to learning from biggerpockets and hopefully kickstarting my career for real this time in a new city.I'd love to hear from you and any advice on where is a good place to get started with limited time and very little spare money.

Is this simply a case of poor drainage that could be corrected by superficial grading/compaction/and or drainage via a swale or pipes?

I learned yet another lesson the hard way:) Posting this alert in the hopes of sparing another soul.

Good point, if it is only a couple tiles and you have spares.

As a general question, in 2018, why would anyone (who expects to interact normally with society) keep accumulating their spare $30k+ under their mattress?

Don't know what the outcome is yet but I have heard that my house has been spared so far.
