I did this my first time.Someone says something in a post that they didn't mean, or later found out wasn't true or factual, etc......among others.

The cash flow is a bit sub par on this one and I anticipate some larger expenditures coming my way in a year or two so I'm contemplating this as an option.

My friend and her adult son have lived in a SFH together for about 20 years.

Oh, and the boyfriend apparently brought in a large dog that scratched up all the doors, chewed up some window sills, dug up carpet in the bedroom they kept it in, and crapped all over the new carpet.

"The man who represents himself has a fool for a client" was said about attorneys, but it could be said about a new investor representing himself in a sales transaction.

- The market is in a little bit of a lull right now (buyers market), its a great time to buy, but slower time to sell (my primary business is flipping houses) I can supplement my flipping business by providing project management services/consulting, helping investors find discounted properties, etc. etc.
