Let's say next Spring if you hydro mulch and water and fertilize like crazy you can have a nice yard full of grass in the back next summer.I have seen some builders about this time of year use some kind of roll out mats to keep the dirt covered until the house is ready or Spring for sod. 

Cheap curtains hung up on the first floor, a welcome mat, lights on a timer, battery operated fake candles on a timer, big size 11 men's shoes and big men's jacket hung by the front door, two empty dog bowls, a tie out in the back yard (for a dog), fan on a timer, foldable table and chairs with a tablecloth and centerpiece, and radio playing on a timer.

You usually do not find laundry mats, check cashing places, or liquor stores in an A or even B area.

If you weren't you wouldn't be in the Navy strapped to whatever duct taped contraption your mechs provided you with (kidding).

When I first started looking into real estate investing, I was a little more strapped for cash and had looked into wholesaling.

I have yet to make my first deal and am currently struggling to find leads mostly because I am cash strapped and trying to budget as I go.

I'm currently under contract with rent to retirement for three more properties, but after this I may be a little strapped for cash and need to explore more creative options to continue investing with.

I'm a fan and a client of Mat Sorensen.

How about Mat Sorensen who is top guru for all things IRA investing...look them up before you knock down Renatus and brand them a cult.
