As I mentioned I was going to protect my equipment and my family, and to that end I purchased some gfci outlets for anything that might be potentially hazardous and isolation transformers for the equipment so as to separate them from the rest of the ungrounded house.I'm also investigating possibly using other means to create an isolated, protected circuit, but thus far that is proving fruitless.If nothing else I hope this serves as a warning to others that just because someone is licensed and insured, they might not always do the right or safe thing.

Hi BP community,I am investigating first buy & hold rental deals.

In my practice I am almost constantly making what I call an investigate/forget decision.

Of course I will monitor the FSBO's and investigate the reasons they are up for sale to see if I can swoop in.How about your neck of the woods?

I'm going to drive by the duplex that just sold to do some investigation, i.e. is there a dumpster out front for a rehab

Account Closed I used Wix (frankly just because Brandon Turner likes it and I did not have the time to investigate any other sites) It took me a good Sunday morning to put the site together and get it online, you can check it out at www.bluedanubeproperties.com I found it pretty easy to use.

I will investigate these areas. 

BTW, since you are investigating hard money loans, I strongly recommend you shop around, there are plenty of us in MA. 

This will let you see anomalies in your expenses, if something is higher one month, it can trigger you to investigate for a problem.Also set up transaction reports so that it is easy to create lists of expenses and income per property at the end of the year when preparing to do your taxes, or send to your accountant.As I said at the beginning, starting now and getting organized will save you a lot of time and possibly money in the future. 

I am trying to get a list going to start investigating my options!!
