In fact, there are a lot of great people like that on these forums, thankfully.Now when I come across something off market that I think would interest them but may be out of the buy box for me and my clients, I hand it off to them.

I searched "Lakewood Meet-up" in the search the site box and found it:http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/207...Hoping one of these will match my schedule soon, the one I attended in Portland was great fun.

Take notes and pictures and then go to a big box store and another, smaller local place. 

Think out of the box ... today I happened upon a webinar where you can start earning from as little as$1.

I can only add that you can cover the paneling with 1/4 " sheetrock and not have many issues with the electrical boxes and maybe the trim.

I was get really worried that the market had changed and that I was going to have drop the price.When I went in to adjust things I realized that the person that had posted it had unchecked the contact box.

The other benefit is that I can install it myself with just a box cutter.

I got it turned on at a box on the street that was hidden by grass.

His inability to give me the key is going to force me to rent a box from the usps.I am just wondering if, when the lease runs out and I leave, this is something I can tack on should I decide to take him to small claims court (I'm already expecting to not get my deposit back even though the place will be better after I leave than when I arrived).

You go down to the big box store and in the garden department, they will have big rolls of different grades of black plastic ground cover.Buy something with UV protection and lay that on the ground and cover with the rock you want, or with bark chips.Plain rock is pretty ugly, so you might want to add a few small beds of drought tolerant plants or cactus.Rock isn't cheap and it's hard work to get it spread without destroying your plastic ground cover.
