They were lucky to still have the wit to remember to take their Prozac every day.And so I've come to believe that most university and postgraduate programs of study, in all their many varieties, very much tend to put people's heads in boxes and turn them into golden mediocrities to support the current order of things.Do I regret my own studies?

But even those can be penetrated for a variety of reasons if not properly setup and maintained.Just my 2 cents on that

I know that notary's are used for a variety of different reasons but one of my goals by getting this is to focus on meeting other real estate professionals. 

Tenant sent pictures of broken porch light that the roofer taped back together, the flowers trimed down to the stubs because the roofers flatten out the flower beds.

OR many of those I know have done really well owning any variety of business's  in our market bigger sub contractors will do far better than real estate investors less risk more money.. 

Matt,Love your passion and the variety of approaches.

We had a variety of different situations: vacant and good condition, vacant and trashed, occupied in good condition with good tenants, occupants that were uncooperative and required eviction, the whole gamut. 

I've sent you a message here as well.Do Hard Money has a wide variety of funding options available for real estate investors.

Would also check out your neighbors and recent sales to see what yards they have (or what landscaping, flowers, etc was done). 

So far all my investments have been of the 1-4 units variety and in CA, AZ and IN area.
