I don't think there is a contract in place for someone to harvest the minerals Joel.

I also see houses that have been foreclosed that were flipped within a few years prior, and the buyers painted the walls pink or otherwise trashed the place.

Where there is a will, there is a way.My MottoPast failures are the seeds to harvest future success.

We got more showings for our fix-n-flip properties (Virginia and Harvest) but no offers yet.

Luckily we had help from both our fathers- hers a retired carpenter, and my father had worked in construction as a teenager extensively and knew what to do.Here is the original Bathroom- By now we had already removed the plaster from the closet (which was attached to the beam on the left) along with the pink sqaure tiles that were along the base 1/3 of the room.Once we started tearing up everything, here is a progression...Above is my Girlfriend's Dad cutting the joists from the old closet.Once we identified that the studs/joists in the floor were rotten, we scabbed on to the ones that were bad with new 2 x 10 boards and supported them with a crossbeam underneath.

If you plant the seed you have two choices 1) grow the plant and harvest more seeds which you can plant and then eat as well as harvest and plant more seeds OR 2) grow the plant and eat it and be out of seeds with little to no means to have any in the future.If you want more than just a couple of properties in your lifetime then perhaps a long review of your options would be the most prudent choice to make if you have access to 200-250k.

They can see past the shag carpet and pink paint.

Finally the time has come to enjoy the fruits of my harvest and, just like that, after a 5 minutes conversation, all has vanished.As you can tell, I'm still licking my wounds.

It is not an improvement because the walls were a neutral grey color and now it's pink.

When folks complain of "big-brother", they really have no clue how much data these private companies harvest....
