Dry out interior, remediate all mold and demo where needed3.

My long-term plan is to have the option to do the real estate thing full time but unfortunately I'm inflicted with conservativeness which makes me really slow to pull the trigger.

It's not the cost of the bulb, but the fact that I had to get the ladder, take down the globe, clean the globe, wait for it to dry and put it back up.Picking up piles of dog poop out of the yard-$5 per pile.

I wonder if a --what's it called--a dry well?

If you're limited as to how many purchases you can make in a year, you could lose out if you wait too long on a short sale or pull the trigger on another property and can't get financing for the now-approved short sale and hurt your reputation with the bank.

Once the first side was dry (didn't take long), I would spray it.

There are so many other questions that need to be answered before I would pull the trigger.

While recognizing that there are always two sides to every story, this one sounds pretty cut and dried, and tough to defend on his part.

A smart I.T. person could write a scraper program to pull liens from online sources, and search for corresponding properties that have active triggers, like an NOD.

When that traffic dried up, I listed it with a flat fee service about Feb 15th.
