(Kind of like the wedding line, "Speak now or forever hold your peace.") 

Now if you turn thus around and stop the "me, me, get" stuff and consider how you can be useful and helpful, using your skills, experience and knowledge, you might have a better chance, someday, of being in the right place to contribute rather take.

Either Tuesday 12/1 or Wed. 12/2 works for me, also.

The overall theme I am getting is at least take action now and fine tune it along the way.  

minor stuff (rubs and holes from picture hanging) I go with Frozen theme and "let it go" but this is probably because I only use one interior color on all my units (same sheen, too) and self manage, and do about 100% of the common turn around tasks...then touching up is a relative breeze on the turn around as far as painting goes. so get the codes if you can from the owner or from the next paint job...you are probably in the realm of wear and tear here and run some risk of a dust up over the deposit that may cost more time and stress than a touch up paint. 

If your in denial you take no action on any of the folks during the 5 month foreclosure gestation period.. and now you have mandatory mediation etc. so lots of time for them to work it out.So what we decided is we only wanted to deal with highly motivated folks and they usually get highly motivated on Monday when their house is going to be sold on Wed. 

The reason for focusing on the term "socialism" is the common theme of "equality" and "social justice", which has historically morphed into various forms of extremism like communism, fascism and/or dictatorships.  

I have noticed a common theme in the responses that are both refreshing and reassuring.

There is so much to learn in real estate investing, but a common theme I keep reading and hearing is that you have to start someone and get your toes wet.

A common theme I see around here lately is that everyone wants some sort of magic touch to find out about real estate investing.
