Then I start pointing out the dripping this and the disgusting that, the funky smell over there and whatever that is in the corner over there and he eventually comes around to my way of thinking.He was convinced that we could just clean the bathtub and tile.  

I think what you are feeling is very normal, so take a deep breath and relax.Did you pay cash for the property?  

I kind of love that area, and lived in warehouse in deep deep oakland for a while in my 20's.Recently made a long slow timelapse drive all the way from 4th and international to 580, and then back again.

just get out there and do it. learn as you go. start small if that makes you feel better, but just do it. i see no benefit in getting you real estate license. most deals found are not even listed. it wouldn't hurt, but it is not necessary either. buy one house to rent as a vacation rental. since you live so close to it, i would do the clean up details yourself and save the money. if it works well for you, do another one. it gets easier and easier each time because you learned the do's and dont's from the last one. you just need to get started

Reviving an old post here, but I'm cleaning up a 1000-address driving for dollars list and I'd like to know what to do with the "nixies" when they come.

Great clean and clear concise goals!

(I am wondering if sending from my own account somehow makes it a prohibited transaction.)Anyone have any good advice about how to resolve this cleanly?

Hi,A tenant looks at the place while it was in move in move out clean up.

I was thinking I could clean up the lots get them sub divided and ether build a neighborhood that could have 15-75 SFH built or an apartment complex on them.

Very accurate and a pretty deep pool of knowledge you have about real estate, especially in Texas.
