You can do both at the same time.

You can kick down that can only so much, at some point you have to pay.

I can live with that. 

I can figure that out.

Why risk $50k on a "maybe 5%" return when you can get 4.3% on a CD? 

You can fairly collect some form of compensation for being the managing member.

When you install them clicked together, that creates the seam that water can and will penetrate.Tile it.

You like to tell everyone that they can do anything (and P.S. check out the results of my students) and I tell everyone the truth.

I say hey, I have a buyer who is interested in the property, but at a significantly lower price.....can you check with your seller to see if it is even worth of time to putting that offer on paper. 95% of the time the answer is No.
