David, rehabbing for a buy and hold is a completely different animal than for a flipper.

To finish it off, you can coat the concrete with a high-density sealer like shellac.

My white pickup had a beutiful coating of black oil based paint overspray from one end to the other....I used like 10 bottles of the stuff but the paint came off just fine and didn't hurt my truck paint.I would also try the talk to him and give him an opportunity to remedy the situation tact first.

This is a completely different animal and way too specialized for the forums here (massive, massive cash reserves), and beyond my expertise.

That being said, Texas is it's own animal when it comes to insurance.

I figure, if inflation or crash or whatever, I want all my wealth to be in physical assets, and assets that I actually want to own, that can be productive, and can be traded. even in a great economy, that makes sense.I want to hedge my bets to work, 100% certain if possible, not to risk. and diversified.used to be wealth was productivity and multiplication, still is for businesses. look at nature, seeds, animals, look how everything multiplies.now we work to pay recurring bills, it really is quite opposite. but people are getting paid those bills so it depends on which side you're on.yes wealth can be created. please write obama and explain that.

I would have the Ohio lien release forms filled out ready to be signed in my coat, a notary lined up to verify his driver license (your lender has a gal who will wait in her car at 6:30 AM for $125).

@Ellis San JoseI am still reading George Coats book your recommended me.

:) After the first of the year, I hope to MAYBE get back in to commercial RE leasing, but I'm sure it's a whole different animal than what I was used to in a Govt. agency.

Yes, you're right Sean - I would just do a first coat primer and then paint it with a semi-gloss or gloss white - it will make a huge difference!
