A trip to Detroit would be much cheaper than a mistake for a new investor

You can file online now, a trip to the courthouse isn't necessary until the hearing.

Quote from @Pat Aboukhaled: Chris, that’s a great question, and it’s one that tends to trip people up more often than you’d think.

Usually it takes them weeks to respond and they come up with some crazy stuff like by business is paying for the trip and need to pay with a certified check outside the platform.

(I mean Special Financing Company)...Since REI Hame Changers has chosen to associate themselves with such a s***** business, I would never touch them with a 10-ft pole...On Monday , January 6, 2025, I am going to open up a huge can of whup *** on these people...First I will file fraud charges at my bank to stop any further payments .Then I will personally drive to Missouri if I have to to get my money back.They ( REI and special financing company)will then be charged for everything to do with that trip-Plus I will sue them for the substantial lost wages because I have to deal with this-!!

Suggestions like driving by the houses weekly are silly, such trips serve no legitimate business purpose. 

I’ve even seen a friend in Austin organize a simple field trip to another city..from what I’ve heard that kind of trip can spark interest in fresh markets.

You don’t want to manage passwords, have guests making purchases against your account, have your account locked out, or explain to your cleaner how to find the % character on a 9 button TV remote do you? 

I like small units (they don't trip breakers) and they are cheap.

As far as flying (tax deductible too) You can do that and if it's in the states the total trip shouldn't cost you more than $2000 all in with lodging.
