Compliments on the mindset shift and posting on the forums.

Start buying warranties so you don't have To deal with the headache. add 0.5% to the purchase price, make it part of your sales process. hedges and shifts the risk. you can get 10 year builder policies underwritten and approved. that's how we do it. anything we can do to lower the risk for ourselves is ideal.

Did you sell, did you just continue to rent and accept fines/penalties, did you shift to mid term or long term rental?

My intention is not to boast but to inspire and share the significant impact that BiggerPockets, especially Joshua Dorkin and Brandon Turner, have had on my life.I first encountered BiggerPockets at 23 while enduring long 14+ hour days as a pipe fitter on hydroelectric dams in northern Manitoba, working 21 days on and 5 days off shift schedules.Although I was earning well for my age and educational background (I barely graduated high school), the job was unfulfilling and almost toxic, mainly because of the dynamics with the associates in the industry.

I’ve met some companies that could go through 500 numbers in an 8 hour shift.

The Infinite Banking Concept is a major paradigm shift in the way one thinks about money.

**PITI is $522 a month (2%interest rate)** Actually cosmetically ready for renters and appears fixed up.On the inspection report the plumbing failed and it mentioned shifting soil in the foundation report.
