If you want to do a cursory search just to see if it appears there are a lot of things that may effect title so you don't wast time I understand it, but to rely on it to unconditionally commit money I believe is risky.

Putting HVAC in any unconditioned space is a big no-no and should be avoided, if at all possible.No matter what you choose, make sure the contractor does a complete manual-J calculation (and ideally blower-door test) so that you know the system is properly sized.

These are scum of the earth who think the world owes them something while they contribute nothing of value.So an update to the situation:After a significant amount of research and phone calls to sheriff, multiple lawyers, police, court house and a few fellow investors, I gave them an unconditional 3-day notice to quit.Once the courts open, I can get them out...once the back log of cases gets worked. 

As I have often said, I am so very grateful for my buildings and the financial opportunities they give me.I am not a king- I am not some benevolent sovereign who looks down upon his subjects and decides that I shall bestow onto them some gift and trumpet it from the hilltops so that all shall know of my goodness.I am not in need of love- I have family, and as such I know the strength of that bond and the unconditional love that goes with it.

Joe Gore Joe: Though frequently the case, the above statement is not unconditionally true.

Just be careful and make sure that you have the money back guarantee IN WRITING.I purchased a "real estate course" with an UNCONDITIONAL money back guarantee.

However, without all cash you'd pretty much be left out of the running because you'd have to come in with an unconditional cash offer to even have a chance.

Thanks to my wife unconditional support and trust, I quit my W2 in late 2009 to pursue real estate full-time.I made a lot of mistakes and learned a lot along the way.

All contracts, options, or other devices not based upon a substantial consideration, or that are otherwise employed to permit an unlicensed person to sell, lease, or let real estate, the beneficial title to which has not, in good faith, passed to such party for a substantial consideration, are hereby declared void and ineffective in all cases, suits, or proceedings had or taken under this chapter; however, this section shall not apply to irrevocable gifts, to unconditional contracts to purchase, or to options based upon a substantial consideration actually paid and not subject to any agreements to return or right of return reserved.I regularly turn in these frauds.

We need to be patient and keep loving them unconditionally.
