@Marian Huish :)  hahaha, being a CPA, over analyzation is in my nature ;-) 

Being self employed and with the passive nature of merchant processing I have a good amount of free time throughout my week. 

Brick-and-mortar store and restaurant locations are proving to be a key component of last mile delivery, indicating a future where e-commerce compliments but does not close physical retail.Finally, a note on human nature.

I hear about these agents that close 1-2 deals per year and it baffles me, I guess sales just may not be in their nature.

Unbenowst to me, her previous landlord who she had a private relationship with....I think it was sexual in nature from what she claims... evicted her the week she began moving into our place for a small dollar amount.

If it is, then you may not have any other recourse unless you had some natural disaster clause in the contract.

Naturally the PM is no more; we do our own now, inspect all units either every six months or once a year depending on how long the tenant has been there.

We switched every unit to natural gas after we purchased them; I would make this a goal if you have oil currently.

@Stephen Colaco The most basic definition is that an accredited investor is a natural person who has a gross income of $200k per year if single, $300k per year if married OR has a net worth of at least $1 Million excluding one's personal residence.

They had the home locked in at $220,000.Does anyone out there have any experience with purchasing real estate following a natural disaster such as this?
