First- Home heating tanks are exempt from federal regulation and usually exempt from state regulation unless they exceed a certain capacity (typically 1,000 to 2,000 gallons).

Amanda Sokol You can't question how a contractor how he presents his bid, however you can question his capacities on job performance.

I don't have time and mental capacity to evaluate each driver on the road as an individual. 

Also, I found that for my temperament, having the accountability and external processing capacity of a business partner was necessary to get me off my couch.Thanks for your advice, everybody! 

I've been doing it for about 3 years now and already know that I don't think my mental capacity can handle the job for another 35 years!  

Yes - that's how we bought ours - (licensed for 41 beds) but our capacity in our present setup is 36.  

Also, last I was in town a few weeks ago, Toledo has plenty of excess capacity in the form of derelict and near-derelict houses and a declining/aging population - raising rents, even without rent control, is pretty tough under those circumstances.  

I believe good deals take a lot of work to come by so I am looking at this realistically and not trying to rush.Minneapolis has been good for investing I have read however recently they are building a lot of capacity in the downtown area and the article said investment potential will revert to "normal."

As you start to learn more and figure out your path, I always enjoy meeting people locally who have interest in real estate investing in any capacity.

But you can always do business in a personal capacity.
