@Monty Alston sorry to hear about the tough situation that you are in but glad you are being proactive about it.

@Henry Perez  Things like websites, bios and marketing materials help on credibility as well as your LinkedIn and Facebook profiles. 

The 2008 timeframe was different and in situations a lot harder than now, but this market will shape a lot of investors that found their new market, product to focus on, and/or to dive in deeper when times get tough.   

all materials, all labor costs to others, Not you, utilities, interest payments, permits, licenses, auto/truck expenses, tools needed are all deductable. 

Too many flakes and dream merchants (using my material to teach while stealing your wallet and offering to help you look for it!).

Even finding 1 is tough in todays market, let alone 3!

Based on what I am seeing Ft Myers and Lehigh and not doing well.Cashflow has always been tough in most areas of FL, SWFL is no exception.

Customer supplies materials ?  

This is the only app I can find customized for tracking your hours and that of your cleaners, handymen etc... Anyone have any experience with it?

However, he asked me to sign a one-year Exclusive Right to Represent agreement, as presented to him by his brokerage.His interpretation is that it applies only when he materially assists me, but I think the boilerplate brokerage language he was given reads much more broadly:"If during the term of this Agreement Buyer enters into a contract for the purchase of Property through the services or efforts of the Broker or Buyer’s Brokerage Firm, or by or through any other persons during the term of this Agreement" (emphasis mine).My concern is that, under my interpretation, if a fellow real estate investor wants to unload a property or if I get pointed to an opportunity by a former agent, colleague, or friend, this agreement could create an obstacle to moving forward with the deal.In the end, I didn’t sign.
