One of the windows was broken and they stole some jewelry and vandalized her furniture.

Jewelry/mink coat for his wife?

I expected a lot more diversification, with me being the sole 100% real estate.I have other assets that could be sold and still not make a % of my net: antiques, silver, art, jewelry, show dogs--none of it purchased for investment but still most of it could be cashed out for more than I paid for it.I do real estate because I both enjoy it and know it.

I at least quoted your favorite news outlet FAUX News!

All strikingly similar views with those regurgitated during weeping episodes on Faux News, I might add.

I thought I would share a little history.HARD ASSETS - the best storage vault for an inflating faux currency.

Unless you're talking about something historical and awesome, that is.One of my favorite tricks in the old 80's vintage houses is to reface the fireplace with sheetrock, tile, granite, and a new mantle.

The age of the building in the tax record should have given a clue as to possible problems including asbestos.It's a given on apartment buildings of a certain age of things to watch out for.In many states buying at the court house steps is what you see is what you get.In Georgia they are all cash sales held every first Tuesday of the month.These type of properties I would buy in pre-foreclosure or foreclosure with a due diligence period.Asbestos can be very expensive to remediate.If the asbestos hasn't started flaking off or breaking and it's sealed it is usually okay.It's when it starts breaking down and going airborne that you have problems.Usually on the older buildings you need to take it out.Really for the most part apartments of a certain vintage age are torn down because of all the problems that accumulate over time.Building codes change allowing a higher density on the land and the old building is torn down.Now that your mom has bought this property she needs to figure out it's highest and best use which may or may not be what it currently is.

I'm a fan of faux wood vinyl planks.

How can you be an investor and not realize you have to save some of that cash faux for these capex in the future?
