For 3 years, every weekend, when I wasn't working my main job, I shopped deals, exhausting every broker in the market and I never bought a deal. 

I bought a Mig welder and a bunch of tools and suicided the doors on my Ford Ranger, shaved the door handles, sunk some different taillights into the back, ported the intake, custom built an exhaust, modified this, customized that. 

They are incentivized to make the sale, your due diligence not withstanding.

If you can withstand financially in the beginning of your own company, I say stick to your plans.

Has anyone used the TrafficMaster Allure (Grip Strip Type) in houses with stand up hot water radiators?

What kind of methods or techniques do you use to ensure that your portfolio will withstand a recession?

I have literally worked to exhaustion researching, offering, negotiaiting, arranging inspectors, roofers, foundation people etc.Oh, remember, you also need to find a lender for a 5-10 million dollar property and feel confident he will do the loan, all prior to your identification date...

It was (is) exhausting learning the one I'm in.

What is a better way to weed through this exhaustive list?
