I'm having to look a few states away which has got me wondering considering I can't spend much time away from my elderly mom, and I can't trust trades and pay them blindly, so I don't know what I'm going to do. 

If you only follow the numbers blindly, you will be misled by the seduction of perceived greater cash flow on Day 1, which will be left behind in the dust in Year 5.Appreciation happens for a reason.

Getting the car is really an expression of your "creativity," not your willingness to lie, cheat, and defraud those you have business relationships with.You still have about eighteen months of finessing your, what, +/-$180/month car loan payments, unless someone comes along and hits your Camaro in such a way that the fault is blindingly and obviously theirs, in which case you will pay off the Camaro, and then it will be time to move up to a Corvette.

@Justin Owens I like that idea better than the one I was hit with, heck I'd rather just dive right in head first and see what happens - to me that's the best experience anyways but I know a lot of folks say there's too much free information out here to be jumping into anything blind.

But don't just blindly run out and get yourself slaughtered. 

Neither of these means you manage well or invest smart.A few starter tips: invest in VA's when you are answering too many messages (and train them), build relationships with maintenance/housekeepers (backbone of your ops), develop simple systems that keep everything in order.Always best to know what goes into that 20-30% commish before you blindly start paying it so you'll know exactly the questions to ask, or business to build, when you are having success (or want your dinners and kid homework help time back).

You may screen with a blind eye toward common sense, but I will not.

This would be 140 offers per week, and I'd have time to inspect them further if I get any takers before committing.Any downside to firing off bulk blind offers?

How about some mini-blinds or curtains for those windows?
