@Fiona S. all the best , will be watching this post rooting for your success.

Tenants had taped up the windows at the edges to prevent air getting out...We don't think these properties are deals for us: 2804 Cleburne St, Houston TX.I think we'd like a bit of a nicer set up and I think there are less expensive properties to rehab into a better deal.Anyone have more feedback?

(this concept was invented on the spot and has no research)===This is the root of it.  

I will be looking for your advice and your guidance in order to prevents pitfalls.

You've arrived at a great source of knowledge and a community that shares your vision.What are your friends and family getting hung up on that prevents them from seeing and sharing your vision?

Unless he/she has copyrighted it, I don't see how they can prevent you from using it if you like it.

Very true...i sat on the sidelines for a while passive not taking action and recently decided that my lack of action was what was preventing me from succeeding.

I wish I had the benefits of being a Bigger Pockets member years ago when I started, I believe I could have prevented some of my mistakes and possibly been a true REI success story.
