So far it has been very successful.For the SFR tenants with 2 children of the Corn we gave them a gift certificate to the local restuarant that has 'kids eat free on Sundays', & they were gone for a couple of hours.

Don't rush their decision, talk about benefits; cash now, monthly payments, no more tenants, mortgage payments, violations, vacancies....Be prepared to make a decision with a one page skinny purchase contract (one that a High School drop out can understand), a blank check, your profile (who are you, your credential, copy of drivers license, membership in any organizations - Masons, Knights etc.)Your offer should have only one out clause (also know s a contingency), KEEP IT SIMPLE.Make full disclosures - what are you going to do - flip - assign, settle, refer, get a loan on etc.Be friendly, but professionalDress well - don't look like you just got off a tractor in you corn field.

Yet a few miles away we were basically sitting in a corn field.

So my name is Cornelis.

how much water is backing up Lots or just a half inch... if it's just a little bit and there is no piping you could loosen up and vacuum out the dirt and rock and just put a new clean bunch of gravel in there... the big trucks you see on the road potholing  for all the fiber optic cables could vacuum out little holes that you can put fresh gravel in all of them... hopefully some of this makes sense

The living room is on the other side.An industrial sized Corn Flakes box covering a 12" hole in the ceiling since 2011.Kitchen demo revealed huge openings behind the cabinets where the critters had been living.The highway to heaven. multiple openings into the crawl space.The electrical needed some serious help.

Utica and Corning, NY?

For some reason I felt that google fiber was a nice perk for an area, I mean everyday more and more things go digital and google fiber is lightening fast.

My point was that you don't have to be in a war zone or in some remote corn field to get 1%.
