Save that precious start up cash! 

That's the highest risk client we deal with, outside of trophy wives with excessive jewelry and lots of small dogs.Good investors understand that the cheapest contractor isn't likely to do the best job, and that the contractor who always tells you what you want to hear isn't really the one who's going to deliver your project on time.My company no longer does investor work, except for my own projects, so I'm not looking for business from anyone on here.

If the sellers refuse to stage, they refuse the listing because they know they'll have many more coming and don't want to waste their precious time trying and trying to sell an unstaged home.

Most institutions only allow you to invest in the products they offer which often don't include items like RE and say precious metals.

And when you only have one investment property cash is precious and fleeting as you'll probably find out sooner or later.2.

However, newbies, with little or no marketing experience, real estate knowledge or contacts are more probably wasting what might be precious selling time for the seller.

wether it be gold/silver other precious metals and stones, foreign currencies, stocks, investing in a small company, running your own business, how are you guys making your money outside of the 9-5 and real estate investing?

family took a few items, there was no money, no jewelry, no guns, though evidence of all three.The first time I encountered hoarding, I didn't even know there was a name for it.

Now, there will be precious little to motivate a tenant to settle, and eviction cases will become longer, more drawn out, and of course more expensive.  

I am an active investor in Jacksonville and have preciously used Thumbtack.com to find new contractors.
