Lets just say we've got juice.""

In my most recent work, I've opened, managed and operated an organic smoothie and juice bar, which was really great and rewarding, however we had to end our contract early.

Hi @Micah Bell, I recently purchased an apartment complex in Memphis that came with an existing contract for laundry services.  

Congrats also on doing a solo deal belly to belly with the seller.A couple of my takeaways as a dusty old LL thinking more of selling than buying these days-1) When you sell a property in a different market as an absentee owner, you may be a motivated seller and get creamed by a local investor. 2) Don't accept VA or FHA loans from your buyer.

@Michael Le You're funny...frankenportfolio...I had a good outloud, belly laugh at that one and nobody is even around me right now.

@Mike BellI have comprised a list of more than I can afford as sort of a back up plan.That is a good plan. we only win perhaps a fifth of the properties we bid on.

You dont eat an apple and then wonder if you have a worm in yer belly!

@Dacia Bell,I always defined my communication options with tenants and borrowers by first taking into consideration what is acceptable and admissible in a court of law in the jurisdiction where the property is located.Next consideration, many times state and local laws have defined rules for legally communicating with tenants and borrowers.I always communicate within what is acceptable by law so that should a problem later arise - and it could be years from now - every communication is within the law.I also require all communication be in written form.

In addition to the issues mentioned by @James Bell , I have dealt with several insurance claims (as an attorney) that resulted from growers attempting to do DIY electrical panels and other shenanigans that resulted in fires that burned the houses to the ground.

I imported all sorts of items like vehicle tyres, juices and wheat flour.
