Obviously there were minor expenses such as legal transportation etc. but otherwise it was all built into the deal.Buy: 203,000Hard money: 165,000Private Investor: 75,000 (15% secured + 10% of profit)Reno's: 25,000Sold: 265,000Net Profit: 14,6004 months from close to close.Now if private money was more accessible and the trust easier to build you could do alot of these and, in theory, spend none of you own money.

Often you have the ability to check for previous fires, chemical issues and ambulance transports.

I'm all for a system where everyone is provided with at least a minimum standard for care, with people (like me) having the right to choose and pay for private care anytime I want.This is the way it works for lots of stuff in this country (civil defense, municipal utilities, public transportation, broadcast TV, etc); I don't see people complaining that local police forces providing a standard of security are a socialistic concept...why is health care any different?

I've already had two gc come and take a look and they said the options I have are 1) break the concrete and install new hookups into the garage, or 2) move the hookups from the kitch into the patio (enclosed patio already).

There's an opinion piece in WSJ that says taxes, regulation, and public transport are bad!?

Check insurance policy as I had to enclose entire FP opening of a non functioning fireplace or the insurance co was going to cancel my policy.

the issue is transportation.. you have a commuter type airport.. which only feeds a few hubs. 

Come take it all and I'll help with the transportation costs".Make'm take all or nothing and anti-up a couple of 100s just to be done with it. 

They were talking $10 a gallon at the pump by now, skies being quiet with no planes, societies becoming local again because shipping and long distance transportation cost prohibitive.
