What do you hate more the butterflies when the phone is ringing? 

joe, you need to get less specific in your letters. making offers and setting rehab costs usually result in giving people low ball offers and declines. tell people who you are, and what similar houses in their area are going for, in a large price spread. if they are thinking $50,000 and you tell them their house could be worth anywhere from $30-$75,000 depending upon inspection, dollar signs start ringing in their ears. you will get more offers that way

., got the the ring to prove it!

I'd buy that thing in a heartbeat, no power bill has a nice ring to it.  

If you ever need a local Realtor or have any questions regarding the GR and surrounding areas give me a ring, I am always available for questions.

I work mostly in the first ring of Dallas suburbs, so that's mostly late 50's to mid 70's. 

Give me a ring if you are interested in pursuing either of those options. 

You can sometimes do a little sniffing on facebook, etc and maybe find out if her story rings true...

Look at the crime ring around the area in a 2 miles radius.

You'll feel like crap.What 30 won't believe-Your wife's ring will be the most valuable thing you (and not really *you* at that) own (vs the bank) until you pay off your first rental at 38.
