I read something on Friday about the Green movement taking a nose dive - but I do not know if I could find the article again.I do not speak for all - of course - but most rehabbers and flippers want to produce the best product for the lowest possible cost.

Realize the opportunities that are floating around out there, likely right under your nose, waiting to be exploited by whoever wants them badly enough.

@Kim Knaust @Ron Daugherty has it on the nose!

Plus, you are learning skills and knowledge you will use to find the next dirty hands deal, and snatch it right out from under the upturned snob noses of your "competition."

Extremely unlikely to find acceptable tenants to live in those types of neighborhoods.I think you hit it on the nose with some of the neighborhood.

In the basement I used my nose and sniffed along the wall - marked several areas and removed the drywall in those sections.

You would basically have to install a bull nose on every step, and it's prone to getting damaged, falling off, etc.

Had my nose down and working hard over the last few years and the group went on the back burner, but I think it's time to visit this again and get to making it all happen.

thanks all for your input.I guess I knew all along the responses I was going to get. i'll keep my nose to the grinding wheel and pay off the debt and get started at the beginning of 2018.as for the car loan, I'm stuck with it. my wife refuses to get a used 5yr old car that is in good conditions. she throws the safety and repairs arguments at me. the kicker is that i am a mechanic. lolthanks to all that replied. really do appreciate the advice.

I don't know to what level of evidence I need, but I am headed over there tomorrow for another purpose and will let my nose be by guide.But rather than evict, I'm pondering simply offering them an out; vacate the dwelling within two weeks and I won't charge them the normal one-months lease-break penalty in the contract.
